Solution

The correct option is A 0.042
Given

$σ_{1} = 0.1 N / m m^{2}$

Inclination of failure plane with horizontal
$= 50^{\circ}$

$45 + \frac{ϕ}{2} = 50^{\circ}$

$ϕ = 10^{\circ}$

We know that

$σ_{1} = σ_{3} (45 + \frac{ϕ}{2}) + 2 c t a n (45 + \frac{ϕ}{2})$

For UCS test,
$σ_{3} = 0$

$σ_{1} = 2 c t a n (45 + \frac{ϕ}{2})$

$0.1 = 2 c t a n 50^{\circ}$

$\Rightarrow c = 0.042 N / m m^{2}$

$c = 0.042 N / m m^{2}; ϕ = 10^{\circ}$
