If clinker is 95 per cent of a cement and gypsum 5 per cent, how much gypsum is in 2 tonnes of cement?
Answer: D
Correct answer: 100 kg
\[ 2000\ \mathrm{kg} \times 0.05 = 100\ \mathrm{kg}. \] The 50 kg offered treats the two tonnes as one. Gypsum is added at this few per cent to control setting: without it the tricalcium aluminate would hydrate almost instantly and flash set the cement before it could be placed.
