And exit Gradient must be 1/5 to 1/6 of critical Gradient.

Exit gradient must be less than 1/7 i.e., 1/6 to 1/7.

It should be between 1/4 to 1/5 not 1.

Fine sand - 1/6 to 1/7.
Medium sand - 1/5 to 1/6.
Coarse sand - 1/4 to 1/5.
Sand mixed with gravel 1/4 to 1/5.

Critical gradient:
When the effective stress is zero, the gradient is sometimes referred to as the critical gradient, and since the zero effective stress conditions occur when the gradient is 1. 0, the critical gradient is 1.0. The zero effective stress condition under upward flow conditions is also referred to as a "quick" condition.
