It just because that all index property of soils is for cohesive soils. So from above four options only clay is cohesive. So that is why answer is option (D) Clay.

If liquid limit could be found clearly then density index of fine-grained soil should be defined Which is not practically possible.

Because exist liquid state the soils are more liquid. And then saturated position so clay is the correct answer.

It just because that all index properties are valid for fine-grained soil.

If atterberg limits is for fine grained soils. Then why not silty soils?

Sufyan said:   7 years ago
Atterberg limit is the use for cohesive soil only and clay is cohesive.

I agree with you @Anu.

Is silt not cohesive? Please explain.
