Pick up the incorrect statement from the following:
The bottom and top ends of slump mould are parallel to each other
The axis of the mould is perpendicular to the end faces
The internal surface of the mould is kept clean and free from set cement
The mould is in the form of a frustum of hexagonal pyramid
None of these.

Option D is correct.

Because both sides of the cone are kept parallel.

The internal surface of mould should be kept clean and the axis of mould is perpendicular to end faces is also right but option D is correct because the shape of the slump cone is a frustum of the cone that is incorrect.

It is frustum shape.

It is frustum of cone not hexagonal pyramid.

Frustum of cone is the right answer.

Why not A?

@Visshwash.

As the segregation occurs from middle parts. So practically top and bottom surfaces remain parallel that's why option one is correctly said and the question is asking about incorrect one.

Top dia of slump 10cm&bottom 20cm. Why not Option A?

Naveena said:   7 years ago
Slump cone dia may vary but it was in a parallel position.

Joydeep said:   7 years ago
Why not option C?

The internal surface of slump cone must be clean & free from set cement for the measured workability of concrete through slump test.

Options A is the right answer.
