Consider the following statements:
| I: | Freshwater algal blooms, the result of an excess of nutrients [particularly phosphates] cause large scale fish mortality. |
| II: | Algae grow very quickly under high nutrient availability, but each alga is short-lived, and the result is a high concentration of dead organic matter, the decay of which consumes dissolved oxygen in the water, resulting in hypoxic conditions. |
1. Both I and II are correct and II explains I
2. Both I and II are correct but II does not explain I
3. I is correct and II is incorrect
4. Both I and II are correct

Algal blooms impart a distinct colour to water due to:
| 1. | Their pigments |
| 2. | Excretion of coloured substances |
| 3. | Formation of coloured chemicals in water facilitated by physiological degradation of algae |
| 4. | Absorption of light by algal cell wall |

Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :
| Assertion (A): | Predatory fish such as swordfish and sharks or birds like osprey and eagles have higher concentrations of mercury in their tissue than what could be accounted for by direct exposure alone. |
| Reason (R): | Mercury [or methyl mercury] undergoes biomagnifications in aquatic food chains. |
| 1. | Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
| 2. | Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
| 3. | (A) is true but (R) is false. |
| 4. | Both (A) and (R) are false. |
- If both the assertion and the reason are true and the reason is a correct explanation of the assertion
- If both the assertion and reason are true but the reason is not a correct explanation of the assertion
- If the assertion is true but the reason is false
- If both the assertion and reason are false
