Appu’s father collected four different types of soil from different places. He took four different beakers with funnel and filter paper. Then he put 10g of each sample of soil on the filter paper placed on the top of each beaker. Then he poured 70 ml of water in each beaker passing the filter paper with soil. After some time he observed that the amount of water in beaker A is 25 ml, beaker B is 30 ml, beaker C is 65 ml and beaker D is 50 ml. Based on this observation of Appu's father, which soil you think he should pick for his farm?

The correct option is A Clayey
A good quality soil is required for a plant growth. A good quality soil contains high organic content and has good water absorption capacity. Talking about the experiment conducted by Appu's father, the soil which will give the minimum amount of water in a beaker will have more water absorption capacity. Appu's father should choose the sample A of the soil as it is showing good water absorption capacity giving the minimum amount of water in a beaker as compared to other samples.
