A grain sample of \( 250 \) g contains \( 35 \) g of water. The moisture content on a wet basis is

  • A.14.0 per cent
  • B.16.3 per cent
  • C.7.0 per cent
  • D.8.6 per cent

Answer: A

Wet basis moisture is the water divided by the total wet mass, \( 35/250 = 0.14 \). Fourteen per cent is the standard safe storage moisture for many cereals, and trade standards are written on this basis rather than the dry one.
