Question
Statement (1): The trap efficiency of a reservoir
increases with age as the reservoir capacity is
reduced by sediment accumulation.
Statement (II): The trap efficiency is a function
of the ratio of reservoir capacity to the total inflow.

efficiency.
(a) Both Statement (1) and Statement (II) are
individually true and Statement (II) is the
correct explanation of Statement (1)
(b) Both Statement (1) and Statement (II) are
individually true but Statement (II) is not the
