Loose husk of bulk density \( 100 \) kg/m\(^3\) is briquetted to \( 650 \) kg/m\(^3\). The volume for a given mass falls by a factor of

  • A.0.15
  • B.2.5
  • C.6.5
  • D.5.5

Answer: C

Correct answer: 6.5

For a fixed mass, volume varies inversely with density, so the reduction factor is the ratio of the two densities:

\[ \frac{650}{100} = 6.5 \]

The same mass now occupies less than a sixth of the space. Since a lorry carrying loose husk fills its volume long before its weight limit, that factor translates almost directly into transport cost per tonne - which is what turns a residue usable only at the mill into one that can be sold at a distance.
