Answer»

The correct OPTION is (a) Compaction factor test

To explain I would say: In Compaction factor test, the concrete is allowed to fall in a lower CYLINDRICAL mould of 150 mm diameter and 300 mm height through into VERTICAL placed conical Hopper. The SURPLUS concrete appearing about the top of the mould is removed with a trowel. The weight of concrete in the mould is then found out.
