5 to 9
Composition of M20 grade of concrete is 1:1.5:3 (Cement: Sand : Aggregate) (Total 5.5) i.e. 5.5-unit volume of M20 grade of concrete contains 1-unit volume of cement.
Thus, 1 cu.m. Volume of M20 grade of concrete contains 0.19 cu.m, volume of cement. Wet concrete hardens after some time. Generally, volume of d-y Concrete = 1.54 to 1.57 times Volume of wet concrete
Thus, for 1 cu.m. Volume of wet M20 grade of concrete contains, 0.19 × 1.5 = 0.285 cu.m, volume of cement. 1 cu.m. of cement = 1440 kg.
Thus, 0.285 cu.m, of cement = 410 kg. The standard weight of each cement bag = 50 kg.
Thus, for 410 kg of cement, the number of 50 kg cement bags required = 410 50 = 8.208= 8 bagsCorrect Option: A

- The water consumption of a high rise apartment building with 60 dwelling units having an average household size of 5 persons is 135 lpcd. Assuming 80% of the total use is met with recycled water supply, the daily domestic demand for the building is _________ litres.

8100 to 8100
Total dwelling units = 60.
Average household size = 5.
Thus, total population in building = 300.
Thus, total water consumption demand of the building per day = 135 lpcd × 300 = 40,500 liters.
It is given that, 80% of the total use is met with recycled water.
Thus, (80 ×100) × 40,500 = 32,400 liters demand is met with recycled water.
Thus, the net daily domestic demand of water of the building = 40,500 – 32,400 = 8100 liters.Correct Option: C
