Question

Calculate the percentage of water absorbed by 100 gms of soil if the initial volume of water is 200 ml and final volume of water 150 ml​

Answer 1

Initial volume = 200ml

Final volume = 150ml

Difference between initial and final volume = (200 - 150) ml

                                                                       = 50 ml

A.C.Q

⇒ x % of 200 = 50

⇒ x/100 × 200 = 50

⇒ x/1 × 2 = 50

⇒ x = 50/2

⇒ x = 25

∴ 25% of water is absorbed by the soil.
