I have seen a pile foundation where 2 piles support the single column and also 3 piles entirely support 1 column. In my view, two piles is sufficient to support 1 column.

In my opinion, B is the right answer because the pile cap can comprise of min 2piles on which a column rests, and I've used 2 piles to support a column on the field too.

Actually, as per theory is there is a chance of eccentricity of load upon pile cap minimum no. of piles to be used is 3 (in a triangle shape).

@All.

I worked at a project of Building where frictional piles are given in design. Isolated pile cap with one pile also given in Design.

Minimum number of piles used in column 3.

Minimum number of piles needed to support wall is 2.

It's depending structural design. Then the pile required support of column more than one.

A number of piles depend on column load and pile working load.

No of piles required is depending on load coming on column.
