32.
If σ0' and σ' represent initial and increased pressure ; e0 and e void ratios corresponding to initial and increased pressure ; and C0 the compression index (dimensionless), then, the virgin compression curve as expressed by Terzaghi empirical formula is
e = e0 + Cc log10 σ'/σ0'
e = e0 - Cc log10 σ'/σ0'
e0 = e - Cc log10 σ'/σ0'
e0 = e + Cc log10 σ0'/σ'

Ef - Ei.
So the ans is A.

Cc= (e0-e)/log10(σ'/σ0).
e0= e + log10(σ'/σ0).

So, the answer is (B).

Cc = e0-ef/log (p'/p'0) = slope of e-log p curve. Solving for eo we get option B.
(1)
