The correct answer is (a) Permeability number

Easiest explanation: The equation given above is the standard equation for the measurement of the permeability number. After preparing the test sample of sand, 2000 cm3 of air is passed through the sample and the time taken by it to completely pass through the specimen is noted. Then its permeability is calculated using the above equation.
