Question Detail
There are bricks with 24 cm x 12 cm x 8 cm dimensions. Find the total number of bricks required to construct a wall 24 m long, 8 m high and 60 m thick with 10% of wall filled with mortar.
- 35000
- 40000
- 45000
- 50000
Answer: Option C
Explanation:
So as per question,
\begin{aligned}
\text{Volume of wall} = (2400 * 800 * 60 ) cm^3 \\
\text{Volume of bricks} = \text { 90% of volume of wall } \\
= [ \frac{90}{100} * 2400 * 800 * 60 ] cm^3 \\
\text{ Volume of 1 brick = } (24 * 12 * 8) cm^3 \\
\text{Number of Bricks required} \\
= \frac{ (\frac{90}{100}) * (2400 * 800 * 60)}{24 * 12 * 8} \\
= 45000
\end{aligned}
