Question

Consider the following:

11000 litres = 1 m³
21 metric ton = 1000 kg
31 hectare = 10000 m²

Which of the above are correct?

Options

a

1 and 2 only

b

2 and 3 only

c

1 and 3 only

d

1, 2 and 3

Answer

Explanation

Verify each metric measurement unit standard independently:

Statement 1: 1 m³ is defined as 1000 dm³. Since 1 dm³ = 1 litre, 1 m³ = 1000 litres exactly. Correct.

Statement 2: By international system definition, 1 metric ton equals exactly 1000 kg. Correct.

Statement 3: 1 hectare is a metric unit of area equal to a square with 100 m sides: 100 m × 100 m = 10000 m². Correct.

All three metric statements are standard physical truths.

Memorize basic metric conversions for volume (1 m³ = 1000 L) and agricultural land area (1 hectare = 10,000 m²) for standard scale comparison questions.

Answer: (d).
