Pick up the incorrect statement from the following:
A rich mix of concrete possesses higher strength than that a lean mix of desired workability with excessive equantity of water
The strength of concrete decreases as the water cement ratio increases
If the water cement ratio is less than 0.45, the concrete is not workable and causes honey-combed structure
Good compaction by mechanical vibrtions, increases the strength of concrete
None of these.
