A sample water have

 Fe = 0.2 ppm         

Aℓ = 0.2 ppm         

Zn = 0.2 ppm         

Cd = 0.2 ppm

Which metal is not on safe level :

Options:

Answer:
D
Solution:

Safe limits for Fe, Al and Zn are higher than 0.2 ppm, so they are within the permissible range.
Cadmium (Cd) is a highly toxic heavy metal, and its safe limit in drinking water is much lower than 0.2 ppm.
Therefore, Cd is present above the safe level in the given sample.
Hence correct answer is (D) Cd.
