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.

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

@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.

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.

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

Simply p of water = (375/1500)*100 = 25%.

Percentage of water = wt of cement/weight of water = (1875-1500)/[1500]*100 = 25%.

weight of cement - weight of water/weight of tare wt*100
a - b/b*100.
So, 1875-1500 = 375/1500*100 = 25%.
a - b/b*100.
So, 1875-1500 = 375/1500*100 = 25%.

If we will add 1500 gm of water in 375 gm of cement then will it be a cement paste or cement solution ? I am satisfied with Prof. P. Rajayogan's comment.

@B.Arun Kumar, @Malavika.
As per the question,
The percentage of water = (weight of water/ weight of whole mixture)*100.
= (1500/1875)*100.
As per the question,
The percentage of water = (weight of water/ weight of whole mixture)*100.
= (1500/1875)*100.
