A batch of 100 kg grain at 32% moisture content (wet basis) is being dried using hot air at 70 °C and 30% RH. The values of Henderson equation's constants c and n for the grain are 8.5×10⁻⁶ and 2.07, respectively. Considering the maximum possible drying of the batch, the quantity of moisture removed in kg is
A
10.20
B
17.05
C
21.98
D
25.07

Correct : d
