In a mortar, the binding material is
Answer: Option
Explanation:
A mortar is a mixture of binding material, water, and fine aggregate (such as sand or surkhi). The binding material is typically cement, which is a powder made of a mixture of calcined limestone and clay. When mixed with water, cement forms a paste that hardens over time to bind the aggregate together and create a strong and durable building material. Sand and surkhi are both types of fine aggregate that are often used in mortars, and cinder is a type of coarse aggregate that is not typically used in mortars.

Cement is used because it act as a gum material during construction.

Mortar is prepared from sand cement and water it is very hardness material in building construction. Cement is a binding material.

Because cement has both cohesive and adhesive property.

The properties of cement is only react with water to get harden. But other materials not react the same. So the answer is cement.

In this type of mortar, the cement is used as binding material. Depending upon the strength required and importance of work, the proportion of cement to sand by volume varies from 1:2 to 1:6 or more. It should be noted that surkhi and cinder are not chemically inert substances and hence they cannot be used as adulterants with matrix as cement. Thus the sand only can be used to form cement mortar. The proportion of cement with respect to sand should be determined with due regard to the specified durability and working conditions. The cement mortar is used where a mortar of high strength and water-resisting properties is required such as underground constructions, water saturated soils, etc.

Mortar is mixture of cement, sand, aggregate and water. It may be in different ratio.

Mortar is a mixture and cement as ingredient to mortar serves as paste to bind becoming concrete.
