Given:

The volume of one brick = 0.0014 m3

Length of wall = 14 m ; Breadth of wall = 0.125 m

and height of wall = 5 m

Formula used:

Volume of wall = L × B × H

Number of bricks = Volume of wall/volume of a brick

Where, L = length ; B = breadth ; H = height

Calculation:

Volume of wall = 14 × 0.125 × 5 = 8.75 m3

Number of bricks = 8.75/0.0014

⇒ 6250

∴ The correct answer is 6250.
