1. If water-cement ratio is increased, strength of concrete increases.
Incorrect – Increasing the water-cement ratio reduces strength due to excess water leading to more capillary pores.

2. If water-cement ratio is decreased, strength of concrete increases.

Correct – Less water (to an extent) means denser concrete and higher strength.

3. If water-cement ratio is increased, strength of concrete is not affected.
Incorrect – Strength is affected and generally decreases.

4. None of these.
Incorrect – Because statement 2 is correct, and others are not.

Correct Answer: "If water-cement ratio is increased, strength of concrete increases".
