The following observations are made while testing aggregate for its suitability in pavement construction:
- Mass of oven-dry aggregate in air $=1000 $ g
- Mass of saturated surface-dry aggregate in air $=1025 $ g
- Mass of saturated surface-dry aggregate under water $=625 $ g
Based on the above observations, the correct statement is
- bulk specific gravity of aggregate $=2.5$ and water absorption $=2.5 \%$
- bulk specific gravity of aggregate $=2.5$ and water absorption $=2.4 \%$
- apparent specific gravity of aggregate $=2.5$ and water absorption $=2.5 \%$
- apparent specific gravity of aggregate $=2.5$ and water absorption $=2.4 \%$
