Multiple choice

Environmental pollution in the industrially advanced cities of India is the maximum.

Directions: A passage is given below which is followed by several possible inferences that can be drawn from the facts states in the passage. You have to examine each inference separately in the context of the passage and decide upon its degree of truth or falsity. 

The management of hazardous wastes is a very important problem area relating to environment arising out of the rapid industrial development of India.  If has resulted, in particular, from the development of petrochemicals, chemicals, electronics, heavy engineering and automobile industry. This development has led to the formation of poisonous and hazardous wastes. As a consequence, the residue left as a result of treatment of material of drainage and industrial effluents has created a very and land resources/ Today the world of industry and the government are facing the challenge of hazards wastes, safe transport and the disposal of the industrial wastes.
