Explanation
According to the Noise Pollution (Regulation and Control) Rules, 2000, the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) has established ambient air quality standards for noise in different areas. The standards are defined for day time (6:00 AM to 10:00 PM) and night time (10:00 PM to 6:00 AM):
- Industrial Area: 75 dB (Day) / 70 dB (Night)
- Commercial Area: 65 dB (Day) / 55 dB (Night)
- Residential Area: 55 dB (Day) / 45 dB (Night)
- Silence Zone: 50 dB (Day) / 40 dB (Night)
Matching the lists based on the provided values: Residential area matches 55 dB (2), Silent zone matches 50 dB (1), Industrial area matches 70 dB (4 - night limit), and Commercial area matches 65 dB (3). Thus, the correct code is 2-1-4-3.
