Q.
Appu’s father wants to grow onions on his farm. Appu’s farm has three kinds of soil in different areas. Onions grow best in loamy soil. So, Appu decided to measure the percolation rate for the three different soils on his farm. He used a device like the one shown below. Appu, however, forgot and added different quantities of water while testing the percolation rate for each soil. He measured the time taken for all the water added into the device to percolate and tabulated them.
