Option D.
The cylinder is tested with capping (used in UN) which generates compaction only on the effective length of the cylinder (out of 300 mm) whereas in cube testing (used in India) tested without capping (which is not a correct procedure that is why we use this expression cyl strength = 0.8x cube strength).

Concrete cubes under axial compression fail in lateral tension due to poisson's effect. If the contact surface between the concrete cube and plate of the testing machine is rough, inclined cracks form otherwise almost vertical cracks form if surface between cube and plate is smooth. So option C is correct.

OPTION C governs the true reason.
Although cube strength doesn't determined by capping but the steel plates of machines provide lateral restrained due to friction between steel plates and cube. Lateral restrain increases strength of cubes in that direction.

The correct answer is A, friction is present in both the cases but in-cylinder its impact is negligible as compared to cube because of its larger cross-section area i.e. shape is different of cross-section.

Option B is correct. When Effective length to least lateral dimension is considered here value of lamda is more for cylindrical section and hence more chance of failure.

According to me here we can apply the concept of Section of moduls (Z). Z increase than strength increase &in cylinder z is less compare to cube.

The correct option is C.
The middle portion of the cylinder has the negligible effect of friction. Cube has a uniform effect throughout.

There is no slenderness ratio comparison between the specimen.
So the answer is either C or D.
So the answer is either C or D.

C is the right answer. Area of contact of cube is more than that of cylinder for given volume.
