Answer»

Correct choice is (B) 1:1.5:3

The explanation is: Concrete is graded into many types as per IS 456-2000. M stands for mix and the number, say, 20 is a compressive strength after 28 DAYS in N/mm^2.Generally, M20 grade is used. The RATIO of cement: fine: coarse aggregate for M20 is 1:1.5:3.For M10 it is 1:3:6, M15 it is 1:2:4 and M25 it is 1:1:2.
