Q15 / 90 · JEE Main 2023 (24 Jan Shift 2) · Chemistry

Correct statement is :

  • A
    An average human being consumes more food than air
  • Correct answer
    B
    An average human being consumes nearly 15 times more air than food
  • C
    An average human being consumes equal amount of food and air
  • D
    An average human being consumes 100 times more air than food

Solution

An average human being requires nearly 12-15 times more air than the food. So, even small amounts of pollutants in the air become significant compared to similar levels present in the food. Pollutants can be degradable, like discarded vegetables which rapidly break down by natural processes.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
