1m3/(.2mx.1mx.1m).

= 500 no.

@Sourav.

I am agree with you. But do you think in practical case you need only 500 bricks. As an engineer you should need some more quantity of bricks because some brick may be broken or waste during its use.

I don't understand. Please give correct and clear calculation.

Explain it? How?

Harshitha said:   9 years ago
Totally 513 bricks are required.

Mayank Sharma said:   9 years ago
Brick size = 19 x 9 x 9cm.
Size with mortar = 20 x 10 x 10cm.
Masonry size = 100 x 100 x 100cm.
Masonrysize/bricksize with mortar.

= 100 x 100 x 100/20 x 10 x 10.
= 500.

Hope you will understand now.

Thanks for explaining the solution @M Sharma.

Dipali said:   9 years ago
I think the right answer is 550.

@Raja said:   9 years ago
550 is given in Khurmi Gupta book.

So which one is correct?

Yusuf ghadiyali said:   9 years ago
10% wastage is considered. So correct answer is 10% of 500 = 50.

So, total bricks are 550.
