It is very simple water percentage is 25 If any guy doubt it than any other contact me than I will prove it.

Wt of cement = 1875-1500 = 375.

Wt of water = 1500.

% of water required = 375/1500*100 = 25% answer.

But, weight of water is 1500g.

So % = Weight of water/Weight of paste*100.

= 1500/1875*100 = 80%.

How the % of water = wt of cement/wt of water, is this formula is right? Anyone explain me, please.

Weight of cement = 1875-1500 = 375.

So % of water = 375/wt of water.

= 375/1500*100.
= 25%.

Cement paste= water +cement = 1875g,
Amount of water =1500g,
%Water = (1875-1500)/1500 = 25%.

I agree with my colleagues that the question is wrong.

The water weight should be 375 gram.

Chethan said:   8 years ago
As per code, w/c ratio has not exceeded 1 so wt of water should be less than wt of cement.

Percentage of water = weight of cement/weight of water * 100 =1875-1500/1500 * 100= 25%.

Weight of cement = 1875-1500 = 375.

Weight of water = 1500.

w/c = 375/1500*100 = 25%.
