This question was posed to me at a job interview.

This question is from Lime in portion Glass, Lime, Clay Products & Bricks of Construction & Building Materials

Answer 1

Right answer is (a) It readily hardens

The best explanation: Fat lime is called so because it slakes vigorously. The colour of the fat lime is perfectly white and it hardens very slowly. Also, fat lime sets slowly in the presence of air.
