How many bricks, each measuring 25 cm x 11.25 cm x 6 cm, will be needed to build a wall of 8 m x 6 m x 22.5 cm?
Answer: Option
Explanation:
| Number of bricks = | Volume of the wall | = |  |
800 x 600 x 22.5 |  |
= 6400. |
| Volume of 1 brick | 25 x 11.25 x 6 |

This is correct. But, Please consider the cement motor.

Hi @Srj,
Both the wall and brick are in cuboid shape. So we consider the total volume of wall to fill with the total volume of bricks. No doubt shud arise to use TSA of cuboid because TSA talks only about the area. But we fill the wall with bricks so we calculated using volume.

Why volume?

First, we calculate the volume of brick.
Then, we calculate volume of wall.
Then we think.
How many bricks are required to constract the given volume of wall?
So,
1volume of brick * X = volume of the wall.
(Here X =number of bricks).
Then X = volume of wall/volume of brick.
Then, we calculate volume of wall.
Then we think.

Then X = volume of wall/volume of brick.

That's I have the answer 64 only how 6400 comes? Friends, please explain I have used 10 and 100 for avoiding decimal division, But the answer was 64 only. Please help me.

Then why this formula is not given in the list.

No.of bricks = volume of wall / bricks volume.
First we convert meter into cm.
1mtr = 100cm.
i.e 8*100= 800cm.
6*100= 600cm.
22.5 is already in cm.
Now apply value according to formula,
800*600*22.5 / 25 *11.25*6 = 6400.

How can we divide it simply as both wall and brick is given with different calibrations.
