BOD = DO X(DF).

2.5 X (250/2.5).

250mg/l.

DO and DF stands for?

Md Gulam Gos said:   9 years ago
DO: Dissolved Oxygen.

DF: Dilution Factor.

BOD =200 because don't forget 5 days.

Alvin A. said:   7 years ago
How did you get 200?

RAM PRASAD said:   6 years ago
That is BOD 5 days at 20° temperature.

Shweta said:   6 years ago
Answer is 250.

Swapnil Biraris said:   6 years ago
250 is the correct answer here.

D.F = sewage dilution/depletion of oxygen.

BOD=(DO INITIAL-DO FINAL) * DF.

DO INITIAL - DO FINAL =2.5 mg/l (Given),
DF = (total volume of sewage and distilled water/volume of sewage sample)=250/2.5=100,
BOD = 2.5 * 100 = 250.
