A body is 50 per cent clay with 13 per cent loss on ignition and 50 per cent non-clay with no loss. What is the overall loss on ignition?

  • A.13 per cent
  • B.3.25 per cent
  • C.26 per cent
  • D.6.5 per cent

Answer: D

Half the batch loses thirteen per cent and half loses nothing, so the weighted average is 6.5 per cent. Losses combine by mass fraction, which makes the arithmetic a simple weighted sum. Each material contributes its own loss in proportion to its share.
