Assertion (A): Concrete continues to gain strength for months after it has been placed.
Reason (R): Dicalcium silicate hydrates slowly and keeps contributing long after setting.

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

Answer: C

Both are true and the reason gives the mechanism: the slower of the two silicates is still reacting well beyond the twenty-eight days at which strength is conventionally specified. The twenty-eight day figure is a convention rather than a final value.
