The nominal size of the modular brick is
A. 190 mm × 90 mm × 80 mm
B. 190 mm × 190 mm × 90 mm
C. 200 mm × 100 mm × 100 mm
D. 200 mm × 200 mm × 100 mm
Answer: Option C
Solution (By Examveda Team)
Modular bricks are standardized bricks used in construction to maintain uniformity and ease of calculation in masonry work.The actual size of a modular brick is typically 190 mm × 90 mm × 90 mm.
However, when the thickness of mortar joints (usually about 10 mm) is included, the nominal size becomes 200 mm × 100 mm × 100 mm.
This nominal size ensures proper bonding and modular coordination in construction.
Therefore, the correct answer is 200 mm × 100 mm × 100 mm.

Actual (standard size) =190×90×90
nominal size=200×100×100
In nominal size thickness of mortar joint is included which is typically 10mm
190*90*90
