Arrange the following to obtain the correct procedure of sand replacement method. I. Measurement of soil density II. Determination of water content and dry density III. Calibration of the cylinder Correct Answer (III), (I), (II)

In sand replacement method, first the density of the sand used is found by calibrating the cylinder. The soil density is found with respect to sand density. Then the soil sample is taken for water content determination.
