Roshan's father points to a fountain while they are visiting the Golconda fort. He says the fountain worked (as shown in the picture) a few centuries ago because a clay pipe carried water to it from a water tank. But we know that there was no pump those days! Where must the tank have been located?

Here is a diagram that shows how a plant treats (processes) toilet waste. Many such plants are used in India and abroad.

Which of the following can be concluded from this?

A. Biogas can be produced only from toilet waste.B. Proper planning can utilise most of the toilet waste.C. Biogas can be used only for the production of electricity.D. The water that is finally used for gardening is not part of the toilet waste.
