Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering

26.

Pick up the correct statement from the following:

The range of water content between the liquid limit and plastic limit, is called plasticity index.

The ratio of the liquid limit minus the natural water content to the plasticity index of soils, is called consistency index

The ratio of natural water content minus its plastic limit to its plasticity index is called liquidity index

The ratio between plasticity index and flow index (i.e. slope of flow curve in case of liquid limit), is called toughness index

All the above.
