The top diameter, bottom diameter and the height of a slump mould are ……….

A. 10 cm, 20 cm, 30 cm
B. 10 cm, 30 cm, 20 cm
C. 20 cm, 10 cm, 30 cm
D. 20 cm, 30 cm, 10 cm
Correct Answer: A. 10 cm, 20 cm, 30 cm

📚 Detailed Explanation: Slump Cone Full Dimensions

Why A (10, 20, 30 cm) is correct: The slump cone is a frustum of a right circular cone. The top (filling end) is smaller and the bottom (base) is larger. In ascending order by size: top = 10 cm → bottom = 20 cm → height = 30 cm. Options B, C, and D mix up these values incorrectly. The simple memory rule: 10–20–30 (top diameter – bottom diameter – height), each increasing by 10 cm.

Slump Cone Dimensions Summary

Dimension Value (cm) Value (mm)
Top diameter 10 cm 100 mm
Bottom diameter 20 cm 200 mm
Height 30 cm 300 mm
  • Memory: 10–20–30 for top diameter, bottom diameter, height in cm.
  • The cone tapers from the larger 20 cm base to the smaller 10 cm top opening.
