• A. 1,50,524
• B. 1,41,224
• C. 1,76,653
• D. 1,45,878

Answer 1

The correct option is A 1,50,524

Number of cocoa bricks used for the dome of the palace = 1,03,428
Number of cocoa bricks used for the pillars = 47,096

To find the total number of bricks, we need to add them together.

Let us fill the values in the place value chart and add them.


Let's add the digits of 103428 with the digits of 47096 in the corresponding place values.


Adding 8 and 6 gives 14.

We regroup it as 1 ten and 4 ones.

Similarly, 1 + 2 + 9 = 12

We regroup it as 1 hundred and 1 ten.

Following the same rule for all the corresponding numbers, we get the value of 103428 + 47096 as 150524.

So, total number of bricks used for the palace is 1,50,524.
