    Question

    Single-grain density and bulk density of four varieties of grains are given in the table. If we take 1 kg of each of these, which one will have the largest volume?

    Grain

    Single-grain density (g/cm³)

    Bulk density (g/cm³)

    Rice

    1.13

    0.56

    Wheat

    1.39

    0.80

    Millet

    1.27

    0.77

    Maize

    0.97

    0.68

    A.

    Rice

    B.

    Wheat

    C.

    Millet

    D.

    Maize

    Correct option is A

    Given:

    1 kg (1000 grams) of each grain is taken.
    Bulk density (g/cm³) of grains is given.
    Need to find which grain will have the largest volume.

    Formula:
    Volume = Mass / Bulk Density
    Where Mass = 1000 g for each case.

    Solution:

    Rice:Volume=10000.561785.71 cm3 Wheat:Volume=10000.80=1250 cm3 Millet:Volume=10000.771298.70 cm3 Maize:Volume=10000.681470.59 cm3 Comparison:1785.71>1470.59>1298.70>1250\text{Rice:} \quad \text{Volume} = \frac{1000}{0.56} \approx 1785.71 \, \text{cm}^3 \\\ \\\text{Wheat:} \quad \text{Volume} = \frac{1000}{0.80} = 1250 \, \text{cm}^3 \\\ \\\text{Millet:} \quad \text{Volume} = \frac{1000}{0.77} \approx 1298.70 \, \text{cm}^3 \\\ \\\text{Maize:} \quad \text{Volume} = \frac{1000}{0.68} \approx 1470.59 \, \text{cm}^3 \\[10pt]\\\ \\\text{Comparison:} \quad 1785.71 > 1470.59 > 1298.70 > 1250 \\[10pt]​​

    Final Answer: (a) Rice
