Question: Material for an earth fill was available from three different borrow sites. In the compacted state the fill measured 1 0 0 , 0 0

Material for an earth fill was available from three different borrow sites. In the compacted state the fill measured 100,000m3 at a void ratio of 0.70. The corresponding in-situ void and cost (material and transportation) of the material for the three sites is as follows:
\table[[Borrow Site,Void Ratio,Total Cost ?m3(AED)],[1,0.8,23.56],[2,1.7,22.1],[3,1.2,18.95]]
Make the necessary calculations to select the pit from which the soil should be bought to minimize the cost.
