See there is no fixed mix ratio. It depends on property of materials used in the mix. we have to perform a mix design based on standard procedures like ACI method, DoE method, BIS method and so on.

there is a process called sieving of sand. if the proportion of mixture is passed through the 4.75mm i.s. seive,the proportion passed out can be termed as sand the proportion that is retained on the sieve can be termed as gravel. this is valid if the proportion is the mixture of only sand and gravel.

this is simple, we easily calculate it by volume, if we take M10 concrete the ratio of M10 is 1:2:4 , in this proportion 1 is Cement, 2 is fine aggregates and 4 is course aggregates, we calculate it in 1 Cum of concrete easily. first calculate the dry material of 1 Cum concrete and then multiply it with the ratio of material and divided it to 7... 7 is the sum of 1+2+4...

inorder to calculate the quantities u should know the design mix proportion ratiao by volume.i.e IF M25 design mix then proportion ratio is1:1 1/2:3.so that we can calculate the quantity of diff materials

You can calculate easy. Take M25 grade for 1:1:2.    
(0.45/1*1440)=648 kg /m3

Yes this is ans we can conform that the cement is in which grade by this process take a pinch of cement sample and observe it smoothness if it is more fine then u can say itis m25grades like this all grades are known

Thanks for the contribution. Meanwhile, what does he 0.45 stand for? How did you arrive at 648kg/m3? i want to presume the 1440 is taken as the density of Cement.

Let the mix in the prop. 1:2:4... Ok, now let total qty. be 1 cum.. Now we have to find the qty. of cement is (1/(1+2+4))*1 cum. = let .14 cum. Now we know that 1 bag of cement is 50 Kg i.e. .0347 cum, Now we have divide the qty. of cement by 1 bag of cement qty. i.e. =.14/.0347=4.034 nearly equal to 4 bags of cement

For determine the quantity of materials for 10 cu.m, concrete -
the standard value 15.2 is divided by the sum of the given proportion of which gives the quantity of materials in cu.m
for M15 Cement=15.21+2+4 = 2.20
sand=2×2.20, gravel=4×2.20
