Given answer is right according to SSC JE 2008 answer key. And the reason behind it according to me, the flaky aggregate is considered to their MEAN dimension and elongated aggregate is considered to their GREATER dimension.

Flaky aggregate least dimension = 3/5 of the mean dimension.
= 0.6times
so flaky aggregate elongated to = 0.6 * 3 =1.8.
(so answer is thrice the mean size).
= 0.6times
so flaky aggregate elongated to = 0.6 * 3 =1.8.
(so answer is thrice the mean size).

Option B is correct because for flaky aggregates the size is considered for the width, not the length. Only when it comes to elongated aggregates, length is taken into account. And the question is regarding the length.

Option C is absolutely correct.
Flaky aggregates 3/5 = 0.6.
Elongated aggregates 9/5 = 1.8.
Any Flaky aggregate is said to be elongated if (0.6*3 = 1.8)
Which Means thrice.
Flaky aggregates 3/5 = 0.6.
Elongated aggregates 9/5 = 1.8.
Any Flaky aggregate is said to be elongated if (0.6*3 = 1.8)
Which Means thrice.

Aggregate is said to be flaky if its size is more than 9/5 of their mean size. i.e 1.8 times of their mean size which is approximately taken as 2 times in this problem.

Twice is the Correct answer because mean size is not 0.6 it is the length but we have calculated with respect to mean size so 9/5 is the correct answer.

Flaky aggregate .6 times mean dimensions.
Elongated aggregate 1.8 times mean dimensions.
So, Flaky aggregate is 3 times of elongated aggregate.
Elongated aggregate 1.8 times mean dimensions.
So, Flaky aggregate is 3 times of elongated aggregate.

Flaky = 3/5*mean, i.e mean = 5/3*flaky.
Elongated = 9/5*mean.
= (9/5)*(5/3)*flaky = 3*flaky.
Hence, answer is thrice.
Elongated = 9/5*mean.
= (9/5)*(5/3)*flaky = 3*flaky.
Hence, answer is thrice.

Mean of flaky aggregate is (3+5) /2=4.
Ellongated agg. 5/8.
So elongated length 8 but mean of flaky 4.
Then 2 times.
Ellongated agg. 5/8.
So elongated length 8 but mean of flaky 4.
Then 2 times.

Given answer is correct. Because there is no relation b/w flaky and elongation.
So 1.8~2 times.
So 1.8~2 times.
