The answer E because all of them are debris i.e unwanted particles, which absorb water thereby decreasing the water content.

Yes @Deepak.

The more surface area absorbs more water at the given water content so, it reduces the workability.

I think the angular shaped aggregates are more used construction & it gives more strength, w workability.

@ Dini.

I think more surface area absorb more water at given water content so reduces workability.

Ruturaj kurade said:   1 decade ago
This type of particle is lead to reduce workability because surface area is more of these particle.

I think angular aggregate are more useful for construction because it gives more work ability.

Pradeep said:   1 decade ago
Angular shape particle is use in concrete because this shape is good for aggregate.

Water cement ratio indirect proportion to the size of practical and workability.

Adil hussain said:   9 years ago
Surface area is more for all types of aggregate in this. So the answer is E.

Hari said:   1 decade ago
All are the particles have insufficient capability to increase workability.
