All options are correct.

t = (Tv*d^2*Yw*av)/(k*(1+e)).
(1)

Only B option is correct.

Ashu said:   7 years ago
Only B is correct I think.

Deepak said:   7 years ago
I think Option A is not correct. Then how it would be D?

KR. Sheela said:   7 years ago
Give an explanation for the answer.

Tushar said:   6 years ago
I think A is not correct option.

If soil compresses continuously then the consolidation process required to remove air from soil, therefore, consolidation time increase.

If soil doesn't compress then consolidation not required.

If you see the formula as mentioned above, E is correct.
