The answer will be the same if the moisture content is reduced from 95% to 90%?? As per your explanation.

V1/V2 = (100-Initial) / (100- Final)
= 100-95 / 100-90
= 5/10
= 1/2.

Is it right?

Initial = 90%.
Final = 80%.

V2/V1 = (100 - Initial) / (100- Final).
= 100 - 90 / 100 - 80,
= 10 / 20,
= 1/2.

For % multiply by 100.
Ans is 50%.

V2/V1 = (100-p1) / (100-p2) = 1/2.
