IS 456-2000 has designated the concrete mixes into a number of grades as M10, M15, M20, M25, M30, M35 and M40. In this designation the letter M refers to the mix and the number to the specified 28 day cube strength of mix in N/mm2. The mixes of grades M10, M15, M20 and M25 correspond approximately to the mix proportions (1:3:6), (1:2:4), (1:1.5:3) and (1:1:2) respectively.

M25 M30 M35 M40 M45 M50 M55 (STANDARD CONCRETE).

& M60 M65 M70 M75 M80 (HIGH STRENGTH CONCRETE) So the actual answer is none.

Here in this question, the standard grade is asked only.

From M25 to M55.

Nominal mix concrete is said under M20 or lower & standard concrete grades are 7 i.e; m25 to m55.

These values are from IS 456:2000.
