In an unconsolidated undrained triaxial test, it is observed that an increase in cell pressure from 150 kPa to 250 kPa leads to a pore pressure increase of 80 kPa. It is further observed that, an increase in deviatoric stress results in an increase of 25 kPa in the pore pressure. The value of Skempton’s pore pressure parameter B is:
Correct : c
