Answer: c) 81.81%
Explanation:
Given Data:
- The specific gravity of soil, G=2.7
- Void ratio of soil, e=0.66
- The moisture content of the soil, w=20%=0.2
The formula of the degree of saturation is,
S = w G / e
S = (0.2 x 2.7) / 0.66
S = 0.8181
In percentage, the degree of saturation is 81.81%.
i.e., S =81.81%
