Solution

The correct option is B 10
Given - the weight of soil taken is 50 g and the volume of water absorbed is 15 ml. But to find the percentage, we need the weight of water. It is important to know that 1 ml of water weighs 1 g.
So, 15 ml of water weighs 15 g. So percentage is $\frac{15}{50} \times 100$ which is 30%
