a = P - 35 = 60 - 35 = 25.
b = P - 15 = 60 - 15 = 45.
c = LL - 40 = 65 - 40 = 25.
d = PI - 10 = 40 - 10 = 30.
Now,
GI= 0.2a+0.005ac+0.01bd.
Thus,
GI= 0.2(25)+0.005(25)(25)+0.01(45)(30),
GI= 5+3.125+13.5,
GI= 21.625 ~ 22,
Option D is the answer.
b = P - 15 = 60 - 15 = 45.

GI= 21.625 ~ 22,
Option D is the answer.

@Danish Murtaza Zaidi.
You are almost correct.
In the Ip {plasticity index} greater than 10% and not more than 30% ie. Range should be 1 to 20.
It means d=15-10=5.
And hence the answer is 10.125.

a=60-35=25,
b=60-15=45 not more then 40 so,
b=40,
c=65-40=25,
d=(65-40)-10=15,
GI=0.2*25+0.01*40*15+0.005*25*25=14.125.
b=60-15=45 not more then 40 so,
b=40,
c=65-40=25,
d=(65-40)-10=15,
GI=0.2*25+0.01*40*15+0.005*25*25=14.125.

If soil passing in 75micron is 15%, plasticity index is 6%, not mentioned the liquid limit, then what is the group index of soil?
Naresh said:

No @All.
The group index should be rounded to nearest whole number suppose GI = 14.125 it should be rounded off to 14.

GI = .2a +.005ac +.01bd.
a = 25,
b = 45, bt not more than 40, = 40,
c = 25, bt nt more thn 20, = 20,
d = 15,
GI = .2 * 25 +.005 * 25 * 20 +.01 * 40 * 15 = 13.5.
a = 25,
b = 45, bt not more than 40, = 40,
