Q1:

The liquidity index is defined as a ratio expressed as percentage of

A plastic limit minus the natural water content, to its plasticity index

B natural water content minus its plastic limit to its plasticity index

C natural water content plus its plastic limit to its plasticity index

D liquid limit minus the natural water content to the plasticity index.

ANS:B - natural water content minus its plastic limit to its plasticity index

Liquidity Index = Water content - Plastic Limit/Plasticity Index.

While;

Consistency Index = Liquid Limit - Water content /Plasticity Index.
