Question: The dimension of bricks are `24 cm xx 12 cm xx 8 cm`. How many bricks will be required to build a wall `24` m long, `8` m high and `60` cm thick, if `10%` of the wall is filled with mortar ?
A`40000`
B`20000`
C`50000`
D`45000`
Note: Volume of wall
`= (2400 xx 800 xx 60) cu. cm`.
Volume of wall (apart from mortar)
`= (/100 xx 2400 xx 800 xx 60) cu.m`.
Volume of `1` bricks `= (24 xx 12 xx 8) cu. cm.`
:. Number of bricks required
`= (90/10 xx 2400 xx 800 xx 60 xx 1/(24 xx 12 xx 8)`
`= 45000`.
