Correct Answer - Option 3 : Less amount of gypsum in very fine powdered form

Explanation:

Quick setting cement:

  • Gypsum is added to cement to counteract C3A to prevent flash setting.
  • Tricalcium silicates(C3A) is quick setting in nature. It reduces the setting time of cement.
  • It is used in underwater construction. It is also used in rainy & cold weather conditions. Where quick strength is needed in a short span of time. It is used at a higher temperature where water evaporates easily.
