LoginThis statement is incorrect. The void ratio can indeed be greater than 1, especially in loose, coarse-grained soils like loose sands or gravels where the volume of voids can exceed the volume of solids.
B. be zero
This statement is theoretically possible but practically unlikely. A void ratio of zero would imply that there are no voids in the soil, which would mean the soil is completely solid with no pores. This is not achievable in natural soil conditions.
C. take any value greater than zero
This statement is correct. The void ratio can take any positive value. It can be less than 1, equal to 1, or greater than 1, depending on the soil's density and structure.
D. take values between 0 and 1 only
This statement is incorrect. As mentioned, the void ratio can exceed 1 in loose soils where the volume of voids is greater than the volume of solids.
