Direction: Each of the question consist of two statements, one labeled as the ‘Statement (I)’ and the other as ‘Statement (II)’. Examine these two statements carefully and select the answer to these items using the codes given below:

Statement (I): The trap efficiency of a reservoir increases with age as the reservoir capacity is reduced by sediment accumulation Statement (II): The trap efficiency is a function of the ratio of reservoir capacity to the total inflow. A small reservoir on a,’ large stream has a low trap efficiency.
