The results of a consolidation test on an undisturbed soil, sampled at a depth of 10 m below the ground level are as follows:
Saturated unit weight: 16 kN/m³
Pre-consolidation pressure: 90 kPa
The water table was encountered at the ground level. Assuming the unit weight of water as 10 kN/m³, the over-consolidation ratio of the soil is
