We have Yd=GYw/(1+e).
We have to calculate the value of e from S.e=W.G.
S=1, W=0.3,G=2.6 all values put and find e as 0.78.
Now all putting in eq.Yd = GYw/(1+e).
Yd = 2.6/(1+0.78).
Yd = 1.46.

Sr.E = W.G.
Saturated soil, Sr = 1.
Water content, w = 30% = 0.3.
Specific gravity, G = 2.6.
Using formula, e = 0.78.
Now, Yd = (G.Yw)/(1 + e).
Solving this, we get dry density, Yd = (2.6X1)/(1+0.78).
= 1.46 gm/cc.

Yd = GYw/(1+WG).
= 2.65*1/(1+.3*2.65) (here we will use Yw = 1 gm/cc).
= 1.476 gm/cc.
= 2.65*1/(1+.3*2.65) (here we will use Yw = 1 gm/cc).
= 1.476 gm/cc.

For saturated soil:
Υd = GΥw/(1+wG).
= 2.6*1/(1+0.3*2.6).
= 1.46067.
Υd = GΥw/(1+wG).
= 2.6*1/(1+0.3*2.6).
= 1.46067.

C is correct.
For saturated soil,
Yd=(G+e)Yw/(1+e),
Yd=(2.6+.78)1/(1+.78),
Yd= 1.91.
For saturated soil,
Yd=(G+e)Yw/(1+e),
Yd=(2.6+.78)1/(1+.78),
Yd= 1.91.

Yd = GYw/1+WG.
= 2.65x10/1+(.3x2.65).
= 14.76.
= 2.65x10/1+(.3x2.65).
= 14.76.

yd = (yw(1-na)G)/(1+wG).
yd = y/(1+w).
yd = y/(1+w).

yd = y/1+w.
= 2.6/1+0.3.
= 2.
= 2.6/1+0.3.
= 2.
