When the water table is close to the ground surface, the bearing capacity of a soil is reduced to

A.	one-fourth	B.	one-half
C.	two-third	D.	three-fourth

217.

When the water table is under the base of the footing at a depth equal to half of the width of the footing, the bearing capacity of a soil is reduced to

A.	one-fourth	B.	one-half
C.	two-third	D.	three-fourth

218.

The net soil pressure is obtained by multiplying the net ultimate bearing capacity of soil to the factor of safety.
