Q1:

The liquid limit and plastic limit exist in

A sandy soils

B silty soils

C gravel soils

D clay soils.

ANS:D - clay soils.

If liquid limit could be found clearly then density index of fine-grained soil should be defined Which is not practically possible. Because exist liquid state the soils are more liquid. And then saturated position so clay is the correct answer.
