Based on its dry weight, a freshly felled tree may contain water

A. 25%

B. 50%

C. 75%

D. 100%

Answer: Option D

Solution (By Examveda Team)

When a tree is freshly felled, it typically contains a significant amount of moisture, often equal to or even exceeding its own dry weight.

This moisture content can be measured as:

The percentage of water relative to the dry weight of the wood.

In a freshly felled tree, the moisture content can be as high as 100% or more, meaning the water weight can equal or exceed the dry weight of the wood.

Hence, a freshly felled tree may contain water up to 100% based on its dry weight.
