Weight-Volume relationships

Weight is defined as the quantity of matter contained in a body. Weight can also be defined as the force acting on a body due to gravity. Mathematically, weight can be defined as-

Question

The plastic limit of a soil is 35% and its plasticity index is 10%. When the soil is dried from its
plastic state, the volume change is 25% of its volume at plastic limit. Similarly the corresponding
volume change from liquid limit to dry state is 32% of its volume at liquid limit. What is the
shrinkage ratio of the soil?
