Water cement ratio = wt.of water/wt. of cement.

= 30/50 = 0.60.

Volume of 1 bag cement is 35 l.
Option D is correct.
= 30/35.

Gautam said:   1 decade ago
Volume of 1 bag cement is 50. So option C is correct.

Volume of 1 bag of cement = 50 Kg or 35 liters.

Given amount of water is in liters i.e. 30 liters.

For finding W/C ratio units must be homogeneous.

Therefore:

W/C = 30/35 = 0.86.

So, option "D" is correct.

Both the materials should be considered in same units.

Therefore, volume of 1 bag of cement in liters is = 35.

W/C = 30/35 (in liters).

= 0.86.

Option "D" is the correct answer.

Volume of one bag = 0.035 cu.m.

Cement 1 bag weight 50 kg.

Water is 30 liter.

W(Water)/C(Cement) = 30/50 = 0.6.

Option 'C' is the correct answer.

30 liter/35 liter = 0.86.

Wt of 30l water = density * Volume = 1000 kg/m3 * 30*10^-3 m3 = 30 kg.

W/c = 30/50 = 0.6.

Zahir said:   9 years ago
Water cement ratio is based on Weight Ratio. So we would find the 30 litres = 30 kg and that's why the answer is C.
