I too agree the answer will be 0.66.

I think it should be the wet density of the soil sample.

rd=1.6g/cc ,r=1.84g/cc relation is rd=r/1+w.
We get water content w= 0.15.
We get water content w= 0.15.

Instead of 1.84 take the standard value of density of water that is 1g/cc.

If water density is considered the answer must be .66.

Answer is 0.65 by taking the value of unit water.

Here, the water density should be 1g/cc.

The water density is given as 1.84 g/cc , then how the answer is 375?
