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.

For compressive strength of cement:
Cement sand mortar ratio 1:3.
Cube size 70.6cm.
Relative humidity 90%.
Temp 27*2.
Water is added at the rate of + 3.0 percentage of water where P is the percentage of water for standard consistency.

Option D and C were wrong. Rest of the think like proportion, temperature and percentage are correct.

As per RS Khurmi. Conventional and Objectives type.
1:3 is correct to determine the compressive strength of the cube and it is kept in an atmosphere of at least 90% relative humidity for 24 hrs.
