D.O consume = 5 ppm.

Dilution factor = 100/2 = 50.

B.O.D of the sewage = 5*50 = 250 ppm.

2% solution bod 5 ppm.

100% solution 100/2*5 = 250 ppm.

Dilution ratio = 100/% of solution.
= 100/2.
= 50.
B.O.D = 5 x 50 = 250 ppm.

BOD = Oxygen consumed x dilution factor. So, BOD = 5x100/2 = 250ppm.

P = Dilution factor = Fraction of waste water in the sample of 300 ml BOD bottle = 2/100 = 0.02.

BOD = Oxygen consumed/P = 5/0.02 = 250 ppm.

Considering total quantity of sewage =100%, solution of sewage = 2%(sample), depletion of oxygen = 5ppm.

Dilution factor = 100/2 = 50.
B.O.D = 50 * 5 = 250ppm.

BOD = (DO initial - DO final) x dilution ratio.
= 5 x (100/2).
= 250ppm.

DF= 2%= 0.02.
DO= 5ppm,
BOD= consumed DO/DF.
= 5/0.02= 250.

Given,

Depletion of oxygen=5ppm
Solution of sewage=2%

Consider,
Total quantity of sewage= 100%

We have,
BOD = (DO initial -DO final) * Dilution factor.
Dilution factor =(Vol of diluted sample/Vol of in diluted sewage sample).
DO initial-DO final means depleted oxygen content.

Therefore,
BOD = 5 * (100/2) = 250ppm.

BOD=(DO intial - DO final) *Dilution factor.
Dilution factor=100/% of solution,
So, DF=100/2 = 50,
BOD=5*50 = 250.
