Q1:

Maximum size of clay particles, is :

A 0.002 mm

B 0.04 mm

C 0.06 mm

D 0.08 mm

E 1 mm

ANS:A - 0.002 mm

The maximum size of clay particles is typically considered to be 0.002 mm. Clay particles are very fine-grained and are smaller than silt particles, which range from 0.002 mm to 0.05 mm in size. Therefore, the correct option is: 0.002 mm.
