27. If aggregate size of 50-40 mm is to be tested for finding out the portion of elongated aggregates using length gauge, the slot length of the gauge should be ___ mm.

A.  45

B.  54

C.  81

D.  90

 

 

Answer: C         81       

Explanation:

Slot length for elongated aggregate = 1.8 x mean dimension = 1.8((50 + 40)/2) = 81

For flakiness index, the slot size mm = 0.6((50 + 40)/2) = 27 mm
