Answer 1

Concept:

Nominal size of brick = 20 cm × 10 cm × 10 cm ( with mortar)

Calculation:

Nominal size of brick = 20 cm × 10 cm × 10 cm ( with mortar)

So, number of bricks for one cubic meter (1 m3) of brick masonary = \(\frac{{1{m^3}}}{{0.2m \times 0.1m \times 0.1m}}\) = 500

For 100 m3 = 500 x 100 = 50,000
