The ultimate load capacity of a 10 m long concrete pile of square cross-section 500 mm x 500 mm driven into a homogeneous clay layer having an undrained cohesion value of 30 kPa is 600 kN. If the cross-section of the pile is reduced to 250 mm x 250 mm and the length of the pile is increased to 15 m, the ultimate load capacity will be:
1
350 kN
2
416.25 kN
3
722.5 kN
4
1400 kN
