Detailed Solution

Given, the dimensions of the wall are,
Length l= 10 m,  We know 1 m=100 cm.  10×100  
 1000 cm
Breadth b = 24 cm,
Height h = 4 m,
4×100cm  
 400 cm
So, volume of wall = l ×  b ×  h.
1000×24×400c m 3  
Given, the dimensions of the brick are,
Length l = 24 cm,
Breadth b = 12 cm,
Height h = 8 cm.
So, volume of bricks= l ×  b ×  h.
24×12×8c m 3  
The number of bricks = Volume of wall Volume of bricks  
1000×24×400 24×12×8  
4166.6  
4167  (approx).
The number of bricks required are 4167.
Therefore, the correct option is 4.
