In wet soil mass, air occupies one-seventh of its volume and Water occupies one- eighth of its volume. What will be the ratio of volume of voids with respect to the total volume?

a) 0.329
b) 0.279
c) 0.432
d) 0.268

Answer: d
Explanation: Given,
Volume of Water Va= (1/7) total volume V
Volume of Water VW= (1/8) total volume V
Volume of voids Vv= Va + VW
Vv=(1/7)V+(1/8)V
Vv=(15/56)V=0.268V.
