Q:

Find the number of bricks, each measuring 24 cm x 12 cm x 8 cm, required to construct a wall 24 m long, 8m high and 60 cm thick, if 10% of the wall is filled with mortar?

A) 35000 B) 45000
C) 55000 D) 65000
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 45000

Explanation:

Volume of the wall = (2400 x 800 x 60)  cu.cm  

 

Volume of bricks   = 90% of the volume of the wall 

= [(90/100) x 2400 x 800 x 60] cu.cm  

 

Volume of 1 brick = (24 x 12 x 8)  cu.cm 

 

Number of bricks = [(90/100) x (2400 x 800 x 60) ]/ (24 x 12 x 8) = 45000

  x           f

0-10       8

10-20     12

20-30     10

30-40      p

If the mean of the above data is 25.2, then what is the value of p?

 

A) 9 B) 10
C) 11 D) 12
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 11

Explanation:
Mean = (sum of fixi/ (sum of f) = (8*5 + 12*15 + 10*25 + P*35 +9*45) / (8+12+10+P+9) = 25.2
(875 + 35P)/(39+P) = 25.2
P = 11
