A partially saturated soil sample is taken from a borrow pit and tested for its specific gravity, which is found to be 2.65. If the air content and water content of this sample is 20% and 26.5% respectively. Calculate the void ratio of the partially saturated soil sample when water content is 26.5% and change in the air content of the soil sample if the water content increased to 30%
Assume void ratio to be constant.
1
87.8% and 9.5%
2
46.7% and 10.5%
3
87.8% and 10.5%
4
50% and zero
