Question

    Assuming bulk density and particle density of a soil as

    1.5 and 2.5 g/cc, respectively, value of porosity will be:
    A 20% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 40% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 60% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 80% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Porosity = 1- BD/PD * 100 => 1- 1.5/2.5 * 100 = 40%
