  1. A fine grained soil has liquid limit of 60 and plastic limit of 20. As per the plasticity chart, according to IS classification, the soil is represented by the letter symbols
    1. CL
    2. CI
    3. CH
    4. CL-ML
Correct Option: C

PI = wL – wP.
= 60 – 20 = 40
∵ PO > 17 it is clayey soil
∵ wL > 50 it is highly plastic.
∴ soil is CH.
