    Find the number of bricks, each measuring 24 cm ×\times× 12 cm ×\times× 8cm, required to construct a wall 24 m long, 8 m high and 60 cm
    Question

    Find the number of bricks, each measuring 24 cm ×\times 12 cm ×\times 8cm, required to construct a wall 24 m long, 8 m high and 60 cm thick if 10% of the wall is filled with mortar?​

    A.

    45000

    B.

    450000

    C.

    450

    D.

    4500

    Correct option is A

    Given:
    Measurement of bricks = 24 cm × 12 cm × 8 cm
    Measurement of wall = 24m × 8m × 60cm
    Formula Used:
    Volume of cuboid = Length × Breadth × Height
    Number of bricks = Volume of wallVolume of each brick\frac{\text{Volume of wall}}{\text{Volume of each brick}}​​
    Solution:
    1 m = 100 cm
    Volume of the wall in those bricks to be used = 2400 × 800 × 60 ×90100\frac {90}{100}​​
    Volume of bricks = 24 × 12 × 8
    Number of bricks =  Volume of wallVolume of each brick\frac{\text{Volume of wall}}{\text{Volume of each brick}}​​
    => Number of bricks =  =2400×800×60×9010024×12×8= \frac{2400 \times 800 \times 60 \times \frac{90}{100}}{24 \times 12 \times 8}​​
    => Number of bricks used= 45,000
