Best answer

Answer: 4. Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect.

Key idea: An electrostatic precipitator removes particulate matter, not radiation.

  • Statement I is correct: it is widely used in thermal power plants, and removes over 99 per cent of particles.
  • Statement II is incorrect: it removes suspended particles by giving them an electric charge and collecting them on plates. It does not remove ionising radiation.

Option 4.
