  1. A borrow pit soil has a dry density of 17 kN/m3. How many cubic meters of this soil will be required to construct an embankment of 100 m3 volume with a dry density of 16 kN/ m3
    1. 94 m3
    2. 106 m3
    3. 100 m3
    4. 90 m3
Correct Option: A

Borrow pit volume be v1
Embankment volume bc V2 = 100 m3

V1
=
γd2
V2γd1

V1
=
16
10017

⇒ V1 = 94.11 m3
