a student has two samples of soil sample - X and sample- Y. He pours an equal amount of water in both. In -X the water is standing.in Y there is no water .
what type of soil can be X and Y?

Sample X can be clayey soil while sample Y can be sandy soil. This is because sandy soil has highest capacity of holding water and water penetrates through this soil more quickly. Clayey soil has lowest water holding capacity.
