Q: Select the correct option for the given statements. Statement 1 : If CBR for 5 mm exceeds that for 2.5 mm, the CBR test should be repeated. Statement 2 : If identical results follow, the CBR corresponding to 2.5 mm penetration should be taken for design.
  • A. Statement 1 is false but statement 2 is true
  • B. Both statement 1 and statement 2 are true and statement 2 is the correct explanation of statement 1
  • C. Both statement 1 and statement 2 are true but statement 2 is not the correct explanation of statement 1
  • D. Statement 1 is true but statement 2 is false
Correct Answer: Option D - The California test meant for the evaluation of subgrade strength of road and pavement. • This is the most used method for the design of flexible pavement. • If CBR for 5mm exceeds that for 2.5mm, the test should be repeated. If identical result follows, the CBR for 5mm penetration should be taken for design.
