Megha has two soll samples A and B. Both
the samples had the same weight
initially She heated the sample A for some
time and weighed the samples again
Which of the following options would
correctly represent her observation?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Y is a mixture of sand, silt and appropriate amount of clay.

• Sand has very little capacity to hold water as it has large particles and the nutrient amount is minimum.
• Silt with medium particles in size retains a moderate amount of water.
• Clay which has fine and small particles so it holds the good or maximum amount of water.
• In X the water holding capacity is very less means it contains the highest amount of sand.
• In Y a mixture of sand, silt and an appropriate amount of clay are present.
• In Z clay is present in the highest amount so it holds the maximum amount of water.

So the correct option is 'In Y a mixture of sand, silt and an appropriate amount of clay'.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Y is a mixture of sand, silt and appropriate amount of clay.

Sand has very little capacity to hold water as it has large particles and the nutrient amount is minimum.

Silt with medium particles in size retains a moderate amount of water.

Clay which has fine and small particles so it holds the good or maximum amount of water.

In X the water holding capacity is very less means it contains the highest amount of sand.

In Y a mixture of sand, silt and an appropriate amount of clay are present.

In Z clay is present in the highest amount so it holds the maximum amount of water.

So the correct option is 'In Y a mixture of sand, silt and an appropriate amount of clay'.
