Answer must be D because finer sand has more surface area to coarse sand. And more surface area needs more water to lubricate. So the correct answer is D.

Zone 4 is required more w/c ratio. Beacuse zone 4 is more finer than zone 1. And fine sand more surface area and more surface are more required w/c.

Answer. Should be zone 4. Because zone 4 is finer than other zone so, It's surface area is more. And More surface area required More w/c ratio.

In this questions the correct answer in the D.

Surface area is more then w/c is the more and zone 4 not used for engineering works.

Zone 4 sand is more fine. And more fine sand has more surface area. It requires more water. So the answer is zone 4.

Zone 4 requires high water cement ratio because in fine sand fineness increases, surface area also increases.

I think Zone 4 because fine sand having large surface area so w/c ratio will more require to lubricant.

Zone iv have more void than zone I. so more void requires more cement and water so answer should be D.

In w/c, Water is In numerator so sand requiring more water will have more w/c ratio.

Sumit said:   8 years ago
I think option a) is correct, because same volume coarse sand required more water.
