The Correct option is C.
Because P = 0.5 * kwh^2 , so there is no relation with the internal friction.
Because P = 0.5 * kwh^2 , so there is no relation with the internal friction.

P = 0.5kwh^2.
k = lateral earth pressure coefficient.
w = soil density.
h = ht of soil retained.
k = lateral earth pressure coefficient.
w = soil density.
h = ht of soil retained.

No, the friction coefficient of THE homogeneous soil is constant so is proportional ON height.

Answer B is right because lateral pressure of the earth varies with the height of the soil.

Lateral pressure on the retaining wall is directly proportional to the depth of the soil.

I think the right answer is B. Because it depends upon the depth of soil.p=ka*γ*h.

I think the option B is also the correct one.
Lateral Earth pressure p = k * w * z.
Lateral Earth pressure p = k * w * z.

The option should be C follow Gupta & Gupta having the same question their also.

Because the earth pressure coefficient is n also equal to 1-sin^2%/1+sin^2&.

Answer B is not right because intensity is proportional to h not total stress.
