1 : 2 : 8 & 1 : 4 : 10 these are wrong because does not satisfy the general relation 1 : n : 2n.

Samm said:   9 years ago
1:2:8 is the wrong answer because the ratio of fine aggregate to coarse aggregate, in this case, 1 : 4 but usual range of fine aggregate to coarse aggregate should be within 1 : 1.5 to 1 : 2.5.

I think both D & E are correct answer because according to arbitrary method of proportioning. The proportioning should be 1:n:2n.

Varsha deshmukh said:   8 years ago
Both D and E is correct.

Rohit said:   7 years ago
I think both D and E are correct.

Nash said:   7 years ago
The option F is correct None of these.

1:1:2 - M25.
1:2:4 - M15.
1:3:6 - M10.

1:2:8 - Wrong proportion, it should be 1:4:8 for M7.5.
1:4:10 - Wrong Proportion, it should be 1:5:10 for M5.

Arbitrary Method of proportioning of concrete:.

The general expression for the proportions of cement, sand and coarse aggregate is 1 : n : 2n by volume. So, option C and D both are wrong.

Fine aggregate:cource aggregate = n : 2n.
This relation not satisfied by 1 : 4 : 10.
