S*e = G*w.
Where,
S = saturation (which is equal to 1 due to saturated state).
e = void ratio.
G = specific gravity.
w = water content.
e = 2.7 * 0.40 = 1.08.
The answer is 1.08.

S*e=w*G,
e=w*G/s.
e=.40*2.7/1,
= 1.08.
e=w*G/s.
e=.40*2.7/1,
= 1.08.

Gw=es.
2.7(.40) = e(1).
e=1.08.
2.7(.40) = e(1).
e=1.08.

Can anyone say how to find the porosity for the above question?

@Shahul
Porosity is 0.51, n=e/1+e.
Porosity is 0.51, n=e/1+e.

Porosity is,
n = e/1+e.
n = 1.08/1+1.08.
n = 52%.
n = e/1+e.
n = 1.08/1+1.08.
n = 52%.

Void ratio can never be more than 1.
