[PROBLEM MQ-A] In a controlled laboratory setting, a soil sample weighing 3.2g was meticulously studied. This soil was compacted into a two liters cylindrical mold and subjected to oven drying, resulting in a reduced weight of soil to 2.8g. The specific gravity of the soil solids was measured at 2.35. Determine the void ratio. (A) 0.40 B) 0.47 C) 0.14 (D) 0.68
