Correct option is C
Correct option: (c) kg/kg
Why option (c) is correct:
·
Mixing ratio is defined as the
mass of water vapour per unit mass of dry air.
· Hence, its unit is:
·
kg of water vapour / kg of dry air
· It is a
mass–mass ratio, not volume-based.
❌ Why other options are incorrect
·
(a) %
· Percentage is not a standard scientific unit for mixing ratio.
·
(b) kg/m³
· Represents
density, not mixing ratio.
·
(d) m³/m³
· Used for volumetric ratios, not mass ratios.
�� Key Points
· Mixing ratio is commonly used in
meteorology and agrometeorology.
· Unit =
kg/kg (often expressed as g/kg for convenience).
· It remains nearly constant with temperature changes.
