To detect the turbidity of the order of 0 to 1000 P.P.M. the instrument used is
Answer: Option
Explanation:
A nephelometer is a specific type of turbidimeter that is commonly used for the 0 to 1000 PPM range due to its sensitivity to scattered light.

Jackson's Turbidimeter:
It is used to measure high turbidity, i.e. 25 " 1000 mg/l.
It cannot measure turbidity less than 25 mg/l.
Bayli's meter:
It is used to measure low turbidity, I. E less than 10 mg/l.
Ratio Turbidimeter:
When a turbidity meter is measuring with "ratio on' it will use data from several detectors and take an average, in order to correct for changes caused by this particle size difference.
Nephelometer.
This works on the principle of light scattering. It is a digital electronic device that measures low turbidity in water with very high precision in no time.
It measures turbidity in terms of NTU (Nephelometric Turbidity Unit).

Jackson Turbidimeter measures turbidity 25-1000 ppm.
Hellige Turbidimeter measures turbidity 0-50 ppm.
Baylis Turbidimeter measures turbidity 0-2 ppm.
As per my knowledge, Baylis turbidimeter cannot measure turbidity more than 2ppm and Hellige turbidimeter cannot measure turbidity more than 50ppm. And the question asked is upto 1000ppm.
Hellige Turbidimeter measures turbidity 0-50 ppm.
Baylis Turbidimeter measures turbidity 0-2 ppm.
As per my knowledge, Baylis turbidimeter cannot measure turbidity more than 2ppm and Hellige turbidimeter cannot measure turbidity more than 50ppm. And the question asked is upto 1000ppm.

It is requested to the admin, if you upload any question then an explanation regarding that particular question should also be uploaded along with the question so that such confusion among the aspirants couldn't be developed.

Jackson turbidimeter -> 25 - 1000 ppm.
Baylis turbidimeter measure very low turbidity -> 0 - 2 ppm.
Hellige turbidimeter -> 0- 50 mg/l.
Baylis turbidimeter measure very low turbidity -> 0 - 2 ppm.
Hellige turbidimeter -> 0- 50 mg/l.

Baylis turbidimeter is used to measure turbiditt below 50 PPM THIS TURBIDIMETER measure low PPM.

Turbidity is marked from 0-100. Jackson turbidimeter does not read turbidity less than 25 JTU.

Jackson turbidimetet measures turbidity >25ppm.
Baylis turbidimetet measures 0-1000ppm.
Baylis turbidimetet measures 0-1000ppm.

Jackson Turbidimeter range more than 50ppm, but Baylis Turbidimeter is between 0-50ppm.

Because Jackson can't measure turbidity below 25 units, so the answer is Baylis.

Baylis turbidimeter used to measure turbidity 0 to 50 ppm.
