JKPSC KAS 2023 · Question 69 of 100

Consider the following pairs: 1. Mercury → Itai-Itai Disease; 2. Cadmium → Pesticides; 3. DDT → Minamata Tragedy; 4. Arsenic → Fertilizers. How many pairs given above are correctly matched?

Environment

  1. AOnly one pairCorrect
  2. BOnly two pairs
  3. COnly three pairs
  4. DAll four pairs

Answer: A. Only one pair

Explanation

Only Mercury→Itai-Itai is wrongly stated here — actually Itai-Itai is caused by cadmium, Minamata by mercury. Per the published key only one pair is accepted as correct (the key's framing); standard references pair cadmium with Itai-Itai and mercury with Minamata.
