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.

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.

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

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

2% solution bod 5 ppm.

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

D.O consume = 5 ppm.

Dilution factor = 100/2 = 50.

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