Correct Answer: Neither I nor II


Solution : The correct answer is Neither I nor II .

I. Sandy – the proportion of fine particles is relatively higher. This statement is incorrect. Sandy soil has a higher proportion of coarse particles, not fine particles. Sandy soil is characterised by larger particles, allowing for good drainage but often lacking in nutrients.

II. Clayey – greater proportion of big particles: This statement is incorrect. Clayey soil is characterised by small particles, not big particles. Clayey soil has fine particles that retain water well but can be prone to compaction.
