In wet soil mass, air occupies one-seventh of its volume and water occupies one- eighth of its volume. The void ratio of the soil is ______ Correct Answer 0.36

Given, Volume of water Va= (1/7) total volume V Volume of water VW= (1/8) total volume V Void ratio e= Vv/VS Vv= Va + VW Vv=(1/7)+(1/8) Vv=(15/56)=0.268 VS= V-Vv VS=1-0.268=0.732 ∴e= 0.268/0.732 e=0.36.
