Explanation:

Given,

Amount of water = 200 mL

Percolation time = 40min

Rate of percolation = Amount of water in mL / Percolation time in min

                                =200 / 40

                                =5 mL/min.

Hence, the rate of percolation of water through the given soil sample is 5 mL/min.

Answer 2

Given,

The amount of water = 200 ml

Soil absorbs given amount of water in (or, percolation time) = 40 minutes

To find,

The percolation rate of the soil.

Solution,

We can simply solve this mathematical problem by using the following mathematical process.

[The percolation is the movement (downward) of the moisture through the soil. This percolation is expressed here as the water absorption by soil.]

Now, the mathematical formula to calculate the percolation rate is :

$Percolation \: \: rate = \frac{Amount \: of \: water \: (ml)}{Percolation \: \: time \: (min) }$

So, by putting the values we get that,

Percolation rate :

= $\frac{200}{4}$

= 50 ml/min

[Here,the unit of percolation rate is ml per minute.]

Hence, the percolation rate is 50 ml per min. (Option 2)
