According to IS 456:2000 c-9.3 nominal concrete may be used M20 or less.

So, according to IS 456:2000 the nominal mix concrete is M5, M7.5, M10, M15, M20 mention in the table no-09 of is 456:2000.

According to IS 456-2000 grade of concrete are as follows,

Ordinary Concrete - M 10 to M 20(3 grade).

Standard Concrete - M 25 to M 55(7 grade).

High strength Concrete - M 60 to M 80(5 grade).

Nominal concrete grades are from M5 TO M25 maximum. But still we need to have mix for M 25 also.

Here we take std concrete which starts from M 25 TO M 55 (i.e. 7) from IS 456:2000 table 2.

According to IS 456:2000 NOMINAL MIN IS FROM M5 TO M25.

BUT ACCORDING TO IS 456: 2013 NOMINAL MIX IS FROM M5 TO M20.

Mix m25 and above are now regarded as design mix.

@All.

Just read the question again they asking the number of grade, Not standard, not ordinary also not high strength.

So, Total no of grade is 15 (M10-M80).

According to old code(IS 456-1978) there are 7 grades of concrete(M10 to M40).

According to new code(IS 456-2000) there are 9 grades (M10 to M50).

IS 456-2000 has designated the concrete mixes into a number of grades as M10, M15, M20, M25, M30, M35 and M40.

This is the correct answer.
