  1. A certain soil has the following properties: Gs = 2.71, n = 40% and w = 20%. The degree of saturation of the soil (rounded off to the nearest percent) is ________
    1. 80.3%
    2. 80%
    3. 81.3%
    4. 82%
Correct Option: C

81 to 81.5

e =
WG
Sr

also, e =
η
1 - η

η = porosity
=
0.4
= 0.67
1 - 0.4

S =
20 × 2.71
= 81.3%
0.67
