Percentage of water = 1875-1500/1500 = 25%.

If we take 1500 gm of water then.
Weight of water=400% of weight of cement. Would it be of standard consistency?
Prof. @Rajayogan and Mr @Nitin are right.

@Malavika.
The water cement ratio should not increase or should not exceed 50% weight of cement. The question shall be recapitulated as sir has said.

What would be the standard consistency to know good quality of cement?

The standard normal consistency of cement is 22% to 30% of weight of dry cement. If satisfied my answer then give a comment on this.

Given: Mass of water 1500g, Mass of paste 1875g and Mass of cement is given by,
1875g - 1500g = 375g.
%Mass of water = (Mass of cement/Mass of water).100%.
= (375/1500).100%.
= (0.25).100%.
= 25% Ans. required.
1875g - 1500g = 375g.
%Mass of water = (Mass of cement/Mass of water).100%.
= (375/1500).100%.
= (0.25).100%.
= 25% Ans. required.

The percentage = 1875-1500/1500 = 0.25*100 = 25%.

Total cement past weight 1875-1500 = 375g.
Weight of cement = 1500g.
Normal consistancy is the the amount of water which mixed in neat cement so that gauge of vicat appartes should be insert in cement past 35mm to 37mm. It takes as a percentage.
So,
Normal consistency of cement or percentage og water is.
375/1500*100 = 25%.
