Expert Solution
Step 1

"Hi! Thank you for the question, As per the honor code, we are allowed to answer three sub-parts at a time so we are answering the first three as you have not mentioned which of these you are looking for. Please re-submit the question separately for the remaining sub-parts".

Soil 1:

Given F200 = 30 %

When the percent passing sieve number 200 is less than 50 %, the soil will be classified into coarse grained soils.

F200 = 30 % > 12 %

The soil can be GM, GC, SM, SC.

Given F4 = 70 %

The percent passing sieve number 4 is greater than 50 %, hence the soil is sand.

The soil can be SM or SC.
