Setting time test is also done with the help of Vicat's apparatus so the answer should be both B and C isn't it?

For initial setting time- Needle.
For final setting time- angular collar.

Consistency is cement paste which allows the PLUNGER to penetrate 33- 35mm from top.
Initial setting time- Needle which penetrates completely.
Final setting time- annular COLLAR can able to make impression on the cement paste.
