What is the working principle of 'fuel-fraction' method?

A)
Assuming any value for fuel fraction
B)
Calculating fuel fraction for each stage
C)
Division of mission profile into 3 phases only
D)
Division of mission profile into number of phases and finding individual phase fuel fraction

Correct Answer :   Division of mission profile into number of phases and finding individual phase fuel fraction


Explanation : The fuel fraction method is mostly used method for fuel weight fraction. This is very simple method in which we divide whole mission profile into number of mission phases. After that we calculate individual mission segment weight fraction. And based on which we determine approximated fuel weight.
