Here not say the total volume it says the volume of total air means Va/Vv.

Hence, A is correct.

Mogili Sagar said:   4 years ago
The Correct answer is B.

Mogili Sagar said:   4 years ago
The Correct answer is B.

Percentage air of voids would be with respect to total voids say Va/Vv but here it is Va/V.

With respect to the total volume of soil so it will be percentage air voids. So, the Given answer is correct.
(1)

Air content is correct answer.

Shas said:   6 years ago
Here in denominator it is total volume of voids, not total volume. So, the air content is correct.

Given answer is wrong.
Va/v = percentage air voids.

And,
Va/Vv= Air content.

Rakesh said:   8 years ago
Air content= Va/Vv &.
Percentage of air voids= Va/v.

Then correct answer is B

Roy said:   8 years ago
Here, Ac = VA/Vv.
