Size of actual brick dimensions of 190 mm * 90 mm * 90 mm.
The volume of 1 brick with mortar = 198 * 198 * 98 ( 8 mm mortar thickness on all sides)
= 0.198 m * 0.098 m * 0.098 m.
The volume of a brick with mortar = 0.0019 Cum (m3)
Therefore, the number of bricks required for 1 Cum (m3) = 1/0.002 = 526 Nos.
So, 500 is the correct answer if we ignore mortar.

Nominal size of brick =.2*1*.1=0.002m^3.
No.of bricks in one cubic metre = 1m^3/nominal size of a brick.
=1/0.002,
=500 bricks.
Standard size of brick=.19*.09*.09
=1.539*10^-3.
No.of bricks=1/standard size =650 bricks.

500 is the correct answer.
550 would be the answer if it was asked how many bricks could be stored in one cubic metre.
As it is asked in masonary, mortar will also consume the space so correct answer is 500 only.

@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.

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.

As we know that;
1) 1 m3 = 35.32cft.
2) 1 cft = 13.5 brick.
3) 35.32×13.5 = 476 bricks.
4) 5% wastage of 476 bricks.
5) 476 × .05= 23.8 bricks.
6) 476 + 23.8 =499.8.
So, 500 is the correct answer.
1) 1 m3 = 35.32cft.
2) 1 cft = 13.5 brick.
3) 35.32×13.5 = 476 bricks.
4) 5% wastage of 476 bricks.
5) 476 × .05= 23.8 bricks.
6) 476 + 23.8 =499.8.
So, 500 is the correct answer.

THE STANDARD SIZE OF BRICK IS 190 X 90 X 90, BUT IF WE CONSIDER MORTAR ALSO, THEN THIS SIZE BECOMES 200X10X10.
SO THE NUMBER OF BRICK =SPACE VOLUME /(VOLUME OF ONE BRICK) ,1/(.20X.10X.10) = 500.
SO THE NUMBER OF BRICK =SPACE VOLUME /(VOLUME OF ONE BRICK) ,1/(.20X.10X.10) = 500.

@All.
500 Nos of Bricks is the correct answer and in my observations, it also includes the 5% wastage as well.
So 1 cubic meter Quantity of Wall Contains 500 Nos Of Bricks.

I don't think we should consider any wasted brick, we are asked at normal condition how many bricks will fill 1 m3 space. That is all. Hence 500 is the answer.
