Answer C is right. Because equivalent diameter is defined as the diameter of sphere of equal volume as that of the particle, which is used in finding the sphericity of a particle.

I think the answer is C.

Because we always take the diameter of the sphere which has same volume as the particle for the calculation.

Chemico said:   8 years ago
It comes from sphericity. The diameter used in sphericity is called the equivalent diameter.

Abhijeet said:   8 years ago
How?

Satya said:   8 years ago
A) is the correct answer.

Kirilov said:   8 years ago
D is correct as the definition of equivalent diameter is "Size of a spherical particle having the same controlling characteristic as the particle under consideration".

In the given question, there is no controlling character mentioned.
