Question

Assertion (A): Boussinesq equation is not suitable for sedimentary deposits.
Reason (R): Sedimentary deposits do not represent an iso-tropic-cum-homogeneous system.

• A. Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
• B. Both A and R are true but R is not a correct explanation of A
• C. A is true but R is false
• D. A is false but R is true

Answer 1

The correct option is A Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A

In Boussinesq's Equation, it is assumed that the soil must be elastic, isotropic and also a homogeneous mass extending infinitety on all sides from the level surface.
