B is correct. Because we considering total void.

Ravindra said:   8 years ago
Percentage air voids is correct option.

Anil said:   8 years ago
No, air content is the correct answer. I agree.

Munshi said:   8 years ago
The given answer is right, I agree @Anil.

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

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

Then correct answer is B

Viru kapoor said:   7 years ago
Given answer is wrong.
Va/v = percentage air voids.

And,
Va/Vv= Air content.

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

Amjad Ali said:   6 years ago
Air content is correct answer.

Ad-Bajwa said:   5 years ago
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.
