Question

Which of the two bricks given below is bigger?

• A. Clay brick
• B. Concrete brick
• C. Both are equal
• D. Can't be determined

Answer 1

The correct option is A Clay brick

For clay brick,
l = 20 cm, b = 4 cm and h = 3 cm
$\therefore V=l\times b\times h$
$\therefore V=20\times 4\times 3$
$\therefore V=240\text{cubic cm}$

For concrete brick,
l = 22 cm, b = 5 cm and h = 2 cm
$\therefore V=l\times b\times h$
$\therefore V=22\times 5\times 2$
$\therefore V=220\text{cubic cm}$

Since 240 cubic cm > 220 cubic cm,
The clay brick is bigger
