Question

Column I represent the size of the soil particles and Column II represents type of solid components. Which of the following is correct match for the Column I and Column II.

	Column I		Column II
A.	0.2 to 2.00 mm	(i)	Slit
B.	Less than 0.002 mm	(ii)	Clay
C.	0.02 to 0.2 mm	(iii)	coarse sand praticle
D.	0.002 to 0.02 mm	(iv)	fine sand particle

• A. A - (ii), B - (iii), C - (iv), D - (i)
• B. A - (iv), B - (i), C - (iii), D - (ii)
• C. A - (iii), B - (ii), C - (iv), D - (i)
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is C A - (iii), B - (ii), C - (iv), D - (i)

The texture of soil is detrmined by the proportions of particles of different sizes. Coarse sand particles are of 0.2 to 2.00 mm in size; 0.02 to 0.2 mm particles constitute fine sand; 0.002 to 0.02 particles represent silt and particles smaller than 0.002 mm are called as clay.
