The two queries that have been asked above and solution.
Q.1. Treating water supplies with chlorine for 30 minutes should be effective (99% inactivation) against the majority of the bacteria listed.
Sort the table by resistance to chlorine.
For30 minutes: This means you have to scan for both low and moderate vs high. The number of low and moderate are higher. So, answer is yes.
Q.2. Water that is sealed away from sources of pathogens for more than 1 month will likely be free of each of these pathogens except viruses.
Sort the table by persistence in water.
All those under long would still be present as they can persist for more than a month. You can check that there are pathogens other than viruses that have long persistence. Hence, no.
Q.3. The pathogen that has the lowest health significance has the highest chlorine-resistance rating.
Sort the table by health significance.
Now the second query. The option talks of health significance but highest chlorine rating.
There is only one under low, so it has to be the lowest. However, for the second part we look at highest rating which is high. So true and yes.
