A suspension of glass beads in ethylene glycol has a hindered settling
velocity of 1.7 mm/s, while the terminal settling velocity of a single glass
bead in ethylene glycol is 17 mm/s. If the Richardson-Zaki hindered settling
index is 4.5, the volume fraction of solids in the suspension is
(A) 0.1
(B) 0.4
(C) 0.6
(D) None of these
