Solution(By Examveda Team)

Among the following, the sequence of textural classes of soil with increasing order of fineness of texture is LS, SL, L, SCL and CL. Whereas, LSC refers to loamy, sandy, and clay respectively. That means clay loamy soil is the finest of all whereas loamy sandy soil is not that fine because of the presence of sand particles in it.
Soil texture is a classification instrument used to determine soil classes based on their physical texture.
