❒ GIVEN :-
Now,
Water absorbed by soil in sample Y
= Total amount of water - water left in cylinder
= 100 - 80
= 20
Then,
% of water retained = [tex]\large{\sf{\Bigg({\dfrac{Water \: absorbed}{Weight \: of \: soil} \times 100}\Bigg)}\%}[/tex]
[tex]\large{\sf = {\Bigg({\dfrac{20}{\cancel{50}} \times {\cancel{100}}\Bigg)}\%}}[/tex]
[tex]\large{\sf = {\Bigg({20 \times 2}\Bigg)}\%}[/tex]
[tex]\large{\sf = 40\%}[/tex]
[tex]\large{\gray{\underline{\boxed{\sf{Answer = 40\%}}}}}[/tex]
[tex]\large{\clubs \: {\underline{\underline{\sf{Solution \: 2:-}}}}}[/tex]
❒ WE KNOW :-
Now,
Water holding capacity of sample X = 20% ( Given )
Water holding capacity of sample Y = 40% ( From our calculations )
So,
As sample Y has more water holding capacity than sample X,
[tex]\large{\gray{\underline{\boxed{\sf{Answer = sample \: Y}}}}}[/tex]
