Pick up the correct statement:

Soil deposit formed due to transportation by wind is termed as

An oven dried sample of soil has a volume of 265 cm³ and a mass of 456 g. Taking G = 2.71, what will be the % water content which will fully saturate the soil sample and increase the volume of 10% of the original dry volume.

A soil sample has 36 g of soil solids, 14 cm³ of voids, 11 g of water and specific gravity of soil grains is 2.6 . Consider the following statements in this regard:

a) The water content is 30.56 %

b) The void ratio is 1.01

c) Degree of saturation is  = 42.31%

d) The porosity is 0.50

Which of these statements are correct?

For the below soil sample, the size of aggregates vary linearly and it is found that particles finer than 75 micron are non-plastic. Find the value of coefficient of curvature
