Measuring water in kilograms can be done using the concept of density. The density of water is approximately **1 kg per liter** at standard temperature and pressure.

Therefore, to convert the volume of water in liters to kilograms, you can use the following relationship:

Measurement Conversion:
1. **Volume to Weight**:
- 1 liter of water = 1 kg
- Therefore, if you have a certain volume of water (in liters), it can be directly converted to kilograms.

For example, if you have 5 liters of water, it would weigh approximately 5 kg.

Practical Measurement:
In practical applications, you can measure water in a container that has a known volume (in liters) and then convert that volume into kilograms using the conversion mentioned above.

Example:
- If a recipe calls for 10 liters of water, you can say it weighs about *10 kg*.

This method is commonly used in construction and other fields where water needs to be accurately measured for mixing with other materials.

In this type of question we need to go by options. Here options A, C and D are for sure correct but we don't have option to choose correct one. As far as aggregate measurement is concern it can be measured in terms volume by using farma.

But generally we avoid volume batching because of difference in mass in wet and dry condition of aggregate.

So, final ans-all of above.

Fine and coarse aggregates are measured using gauge box or farmas. Volume of gauge box is made equal to the volume of 1 bag of cement ie 35 litres or multiple threreof. Thus fine and coarse aggregates are measured in litres. Cement is always measured by weight.

Aggregates are only measured by volume and by weight and water by litre or volume and cement is always measured by weight. Commonly the aggregates are measured by volume but in imp st. The aggregate is measured by weight. Because aggregate is bulkable.

I think so aggregate & water also while taking weight basis only since water density is 1000liter/cum but we cannot be defined exactly density of aggregate know since.

Option b is also correct.

As 1529.20 kg = 1 m3.

So, we can convert kg into m3 and then we easily convert m3 into litres.

I think 1000ltr equal 1cubic meter and aggregate is measured in the cubic meter so all the answer should correct.

The volume of 1 cement bag is 35 L.
20bags = 20x50 kg
= 1000kg=1 tons.

Aggregate & water are measured in litre But other ingredient ?

Aggregate is measured by weight but water is measured by a litre.
