Degree of consolidation is

A. directly proportional to time and inversely proportional to drainage path

B. directly proportional to time and inversely proportional to square of drainage path

C. directly proportional to drainage path and inversely proportional to time

D. directly proportional to square of drainage path and inversely proportional to time

Answer: Option B

Solution(By Examveda Team)

The degree of consolidation in soil mechanics is a measure of how much a soil sample has consolidated over time due to applied pressure.

It is directly proportional to time because the consolidation process continues as time progresses.

It is inversely proportional to the square of the drainage path because longer drainage paths result in slower consolidation.

Therefore, Option B correctly describes the relationship between the degree of consolidation, time, and drainage path.
