Question

Consistency index (IC) is defined as
where w is natural water content of soil, w_L is liquid limit of soil; w_P is plasticity limit of soil; IP is plasticity index of soil sample.

• A. \(IC=\frac{w_L-w}{IP}\)
• B. \(IC=w_L-w_P\)
• C. \(IC=\frac{w-w_P}{IP}\)
• D. \(IC=w_P-w_L\)

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

The correct answer is (A) : \(IC=\frac{w_L-w}{IP}\).
