Question

Match List-I (Soil classification symbol) with List-II
(Soil property) and select the correct answer using the codes given below the lists:
List-I List-II
A. GW 1. Soil having uniformity coefficient > 6
B. SW 2. Soil having uniformity coefficient > 4
C. ML 3. Soil have low plasticity
D. CL 4. Soil have low compressibility
Codes:
A B C D

• A. 1 2 4 3
• B. 2 1 3 4
• C. 2 1 4 3
• D. 1 2 3 4

Answer 1

The correct option is B 2 1 3 4

GW is well graded gravel for which coefficient of uniformity $\left(C_u\right)>4$.
SW is well graded sand for which coefficient of uniformity $\left(C_u\right)>6$
ML is silt with low plasticity (< 35%)
CL is clay with low plasticity (< 35%). It also possess low compressibility.
