The water-cement ratio is the ratio of the weight of water to the weight of cement used in a concrete mix.

So 30/50=0.6 (option C is correct).

w/c ratio is the weight of water to weight of cement not the volume of cement.

So, 30/50 =0.60.

1 bag of cement is 50 kg & 35 ltr.

W/c ratio is measured in kg/l, so option C is correct.

Sable said:   6 years ago
W, c ratio is 60.

Chetan said:   6 years ago
W/c ratio is measured in lit/kg.

Answer must be C.

Density of water =1000kg/m3.
volume of water = 30 litres = 30/1000 m3.
weight of water = 1000 x 30 /1000 = 30kg.
W/C ratio = 30/50 = 0.6

So, option C is correct.

Wt of 1bag cement = 50 kg.
Wt of 30litre water = 30 kg.
Wc ratio = wt of water /wt of cement = 30/50.
Wc ratio = 0.6.

Great, Thanks @Abhiraj.

* WT of 30 l water = 30 kg.
* WT of 1 bag cement = 50 kg.
So, 30/50 = 0.6.
