Assertion (A): Durability specifications often set a maximum water to cement ratio rather than a minimum strength.
Reason (R): Permeability governs the ingress of aggressive substances more directly than strength does.

  • A.Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A
  • B.A is true but R is false
  • C.A is false but R is true
  • D.Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A

Answer: D

Both are true and the reason gives the logic: strength and permeability are related but not identical, and it is the transport of chloride, sulphate and carbon dioxide into the concrete that actually causes the deterioration.
