36.
Pick up the incorrect statemnt from the following. For performing compressive strength test of cement
cement and standard sand mortar are used in the ratio of 1 : 3
water is added at the rate of 
+ 3.0 percentage of water where P is the percentage of water for standard consistency
+ 3.0 percentage of water where P is the percentage of water for standard consistencyA cube mould of 10 cm x 10 cm x 10 cm is used
The perpared moulds are kept in a atmosphere of 90% relative humidity
The temperature of water in the submerged tank for curing moulds, should be 27° ± 2°C.

D is in correct, but yes concrete is tested in 10*10*10 mould but compressive strength of 10*10*10 is more than stand design concrete.

Here, the question is related to cement not a cement concrete.
So, Ratio = 1:6
size = 70.6mm
temp = 27±2.
So, Ratio = 1:6
size = 70.6mm
temp = 27±2.

Answer C and D, but mould is 76 * 76 *76 mm and Humidity 90% this value as per IS code 456-2000.
Thank you.
Thank you.

Option C & D is the right answer.
Cube size 70.6*70.6 mm2
Humidity 90%.
Cube size 70.6*70.6 mm2
Humidity 90%.
