_________ apparatus is used to test liquid limit of a soil.

The minimum water content at which the soil just begins to crumble when rolled into threads 3 mm in diameter, is known

A partially saturated sample of soil has a unit weight of 2.0 g/cm3 and specific gravity of soil particles is 2.6. If the moisture content in the soil is 20%, the degree of saturation in % is
