Answer 1

Answer:

Now, 100ml water is poured in soil sample Y.

Weight of soil = 50 g.

Water left in the cylinder - 80ml.

Thus, the water that was absorbed:- ( 100 - 80 ) = 20ml.

\boxed{\bf{\purple{Percentage \ of \ water \ retained = \dfrac{Water \ absorbed}{Weight \ of \ soil} \times 100 }}}

Percentage of water retained=

Weight of soil

Water absorbed

×100

:\to \sf Water \ \% =\dfrac{20}{50} \times 100:→Water %=

50

lo n m20×100

{Water \ \% =40 \ \%}}:→Water %=40 %

Therefore, percentage of water absorbed = 40%.

Clayey soil is used to make pots, toys and statues. Cotton is grown in sandy loam soil.
