You are right @Nitu Bharti. Thanks.

Here the question is "the quantity of water required per bag and W/C ratio is 0.6" then the water required for 1 bag of cement is 30 Kg.

Water required = (5% of fine aggregate+30%of cement)*water cement ratio.
Solve: 1:3:6(c:s:a).
Since one bag cement = 50 kg.
Fine aggregate = 50*3 = 150.
So(7.5+15)*0.6=13.5~14 kg.

Right answer:

Simple hai - assume 10m^3 , Dry mortar volume =30x...*10=3m^3.
Cement = (3) /(1+3+6) = 0.3m^3.
No.of bags - 0.3/(0.034) =8.8235 bags.
Quantity of water per bag = 8.8235/(0.6) = 14.70 = 14kg.

Its wrong answer is 30 kg.

How can we take water for aggregate if nothing is mentioned?

S. kumar said:   10 years ago
3 times of cement is fine sand, aggregate is 6 times actually. How you can take aggregate 3 times? Explain please?

Why we take aggregate 150 kg?

3 times of cement? Explain please?

37 kg right answer.

5/100*9*(50)+30/100*1*(50).
22.5+15= 37.5 litre water required.

5 mean 5 per cent of aggregate+ 30 per cent of cement= wt of cement.
9 = 6+3 = aggregate ratio.
1= cement ratio.

Water required = (5% of aggregate + 30% of cement)*w/c.

Cement per bag = 50 kg.
Aggregate = 50*3 = 150 kg.

5% of aggregate = 7.5 kg.
30% of cement= 15 kg.

Water required = (15+7.5)*0.6 = 13.5 kg which may be approximately 14 kg.

1:3:6 = 7.
1.52/7= 0.217 cm Cement.
1 cm Cement = 1440 kg cement.
0.217 cm Cement = 1440 x 0.217 = 312.48 kg.
For 312.48 kg Cement water required = 312.48 x 0.6 = 187.2 kg.
1 bag of Cement =50 kg So, 312.48 / 50 = 6.25 bags.
For1 bag, cement required = 187.2/6.25 = 30 kg (approx).
