43.
If P, Y and Z are the weights of cement, fine aggregates and coarse aggregates respetively and W/C is the water cement ratio, the minimum quantity of water to be added to first batch, is obtained by the equation
0.1P + 0.3Y + 0.1Z = W/C x P
0.3P + 0.1Y + 0.01Z = W/C x P
0.4P + 0.2Y + 0.01Z = W/C x P
0.5P + 0.3Y + 0.01Z = W/C x P
0.2P + 0.5Y + 0.1Z = W/C x P

I think bz for preparing the concrete quantity of water is - 30% of the weight of cement (.3) and 5-10 % of the weight of fine aggregate .

So in this question, P is cement,
Y is fine aggregate and Z is coarse aggregate.
30% of P + 10 % of Y + 1% of z = W/C of P.
.3P + .1Y + 0.01Z = W/C* P.

As a proportion of water required for ordinary concreting is 5% of F. Aggregates + 30% of cement (by weight), the correct answer seems to be [D].

How this equation is derived from any analysis behind the equations? Please explain.

In equation, if w/c value is computed. Then how can we find the value of water?
