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.

I think in option B that will be admixture not aggregates.

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

Which one is the correct option?

How can aggregate measure by the liter.

Junaid said:   6 years ago
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.

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