Question
![In an Oedometer apparatus, a specimen of fully saturated clay has been consolidated
under a vertical pressure of 50 kN/m³ and is presently at equilibrium. The effective stress
and pore water pressure immediately on increasing the vertical stress to 150 kN/m²,
respectively are
(a) 50 kN/m² and 100 kN/m²
(c) 150 kN/m² and 0
(b) 100 kN/m² and 50 kN/m²
(d) 0 and 150 kN/m²](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fdd994ec5-54d1-4a61-b1de-347a129229bb%2Fb7d4c66e-0255-421a-9168-d92ffc198527%2Fbi9rpet_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
