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.

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

2% solution bod 5 ppm.

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

(Initial do - final do )*dilution factor.
5*50 = 250.
