Match the following :

Column I (Waste Disposal Method)	Column II (Process)
(a) Sanitary landfills	1. Burning of waste
(b) Incineration	2. Deposit the refuse and compost it with bulldozers
(c) Pulverizing	3. Combustion in absence of oxygen
(d) Pyrolysis	4. Spreading the waste on fields.

Codes (a), (b), (c), (d):

A.2 1 3 4
B.2 1 4 3
C.1 2 3 4
D.4 3 2 1

Exam Year(s)

TNPSC Group 1 - 2025, TNPSC - 2025,

Answer: B

The correct matching is sanitary landfills with depositing the refuse and compacting it with bulldozers (2), incineration with burning of waste (1), pulverizing with spreading the waste on fields (4) and pyrolysis with combustion in the absence of oxygen (3), the code 2 1 4 3.

Pyrolysis is thermal decomposition without oxygen, and incineration is controlled burning, so the other codes that swap these two are wrong.

Pulverizing, also called grinding, reduces waste into small particles, and the ground waste is then spread on fields as compost, which is the process matched in the key.
