Given below are two statements:
Statement 1: An allotrope of oxygen is an important intermediate in the formation of reducing smog.
Statement 2:Gases such as oxides of nitrogen and sulphur present in the troposphere contribute to the formation of photochemical smog.
Given below are two statements:

Statement 2:Gases such as oxides of nitrogen and sulphur present in the troposphere contribute to the formation of photochemical smog.
The correct option is C Both statement 1 and statement 2 are false
Answer (C)
Explanation for incorrect option :
Statement -1
Reducing smog is a mixture of smoke, fog and sulphur dioxide . Tropospheric pollutants such as hydrocarbon and nitrogen oxide() contribute to the formation of photochemical smog.
Statement -2
Photochemical smog also known as summer smog, is a type of smog that is produced when UV light originating from the sun interacts with the oxides of nitrogen present in the atmosphere. This type of smog usually manifests as a brown haze and is most commonly seen in highly populated cities that are placed in relatively warm climate.
Hence option (C) is correct option.
