Question

Which of the following would be least likely to sink into the soft ground?

• A.
• B.
• C.
• D.

Answer 1

The correct option is D

Here, Trucks in option B and C are carrying some load whereas trucks in option A and D do not carry any load. So, Option B and C can be easily eliminated because these trucks apply more pressure on surface, and hence will be more likely to sink. In option A and D, Truck D has six tyres, so the load gets distributed to 6 tyres instead of 4 tyres, hence the pressure on each tyre is lesser and will be least likely to sink in soft ground.
