A. $$\frac{{0.622{{\text{p}}_{\text{v}}}}}{{{{\text{p}}_{\text{b}}} - {{\text{p}}_{\text{V}}}}}$$

B. $$\frac{\mu }{{1 - \left( {1 - \mu } \right)\frac{{{{\text{p}}_{\text{s}}}}}{{{{\text{p}}_{\text{b}}}}}}}$$

C. $$\frac{{{{\text{p}}_{\text{v}}}\left( {{{\text{p}}_{\text{b}}} - {{\text{p}}_{\text{d}}}} \right)}}{{{{\text{p}}_{\text{d}}}\left( {{{\text{p}}_{\text{b}}} - {{\text{p}}_{\text{v}}}} \right)}}$$

D. None of these

Answer: Option B

Solution(By Examveda Team)

Relative humidity is given by $$\frac{\mu }{{1 - \left( {1 - \mu } \right)\frac{{{{\text{p}}_{\text{s}}}}}{{{{\text{p}}_{\text{b}}}}}}}$$
Where
pv = Partial pressure of water vapour,
pb = Barometric pressure,
ps = Pressure of saturated air,
pd = Pressure at dry bulb temperature,
pw = Saturation pressure corresponding to wet bulb temperature,
$$\mu $$ = Degree of saturation
