I think the answer should be 27 because it is asking about piles that too end bearing only so formula is 9C. Where c=3.

According to terzaghi = 5.7*c .
Mayerhoff = 5.14c.
C = ucs/2.
C = 3.
For square footing;
Net bearing capacity = 1.3CNc.
Mayerhoff = 5.14c.
C = ucs/2.
C = 3.
For square footing;
Net bearing capacity = 1.3CNc.

I think compressive strength = net sbc, so the factor of safety 3.
