Answer: c) 25.9%
Explanation:
Given Data:
• Void ratio, e = 0.35
Solution:
The formula of porosity in terms of the void ratio is,
n = e / 1+e
Where,
• n = Porosity of soil
• e = Void ratio∴ n = 0.35 / (1 + 0.35)
∴ n = 0.35 / 1.35
∴ n = 0.259
∴ n = 25.9%
Hence, the value of porosity of soil is 25.9%
