Question 21.


1 kilometre = ______ metres


  1.     10
  2.     100
  3.     1000
  4.     10000
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 1000
:
C

The conversion factor for kilometre to metre is 1000.
When we convert a bigger unit (km) to a smaller unit (m), we multiply.


Therefore, 1 km = 1×1000 = 1000 m


Question 22.


Standard unit of capacity is _________.


  1.     Metre
  2.     Litre
  3.     Gram
  4.     Kilogram
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Litre
:
B

'Litre' is the standard unit of capacity.


Question 23.


Which of the following would you use to measure the weight of a stone?


  1.     Measuring tape
  2.     Balance scale
  3.     Compass
  4.     Measuring Can
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Balance scale
:
B

Measuring tape is used to measure length. For example, the length of a cloth. Compass shows direction. Measuring Can is used to measure the volume of a liquid.


The balance scale is the instrument used for weighing an object.


Question 24.


Find the length of the pencil shown on the scale.


Find The Length Of The Pencil Shown On The Scale.


  1.     5 cm
  2.     5.5 cm
  3.     6 cm
  4.     6.5 cm
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 5 cm
:
A

If we observe the picture, the pencil on the scale is starting at 1 cm. Ideally, it should start from zero. So, subtract 1 cm from 6 cm.


i.e Length of the pencil = 6 cm - 1 cm 


= 5 cm


Question 25.


Add 20 kilometres and 300 metres.


  1.     320 km
  2.     20.3 km
  3.     23 km
  4.     2.03 km
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 20.3 km
:
B

We need to convert 300 m to km. To convert a smaller unit (m) to a bigger unit (km), we need to divide by the conversion factor.


We know that 1000 m = 1 km


300 m = 3001000 = 0.300 km.


Hence, 20 km + 0.300 km = 20.300 km = 20.3 km


Question 26.


Find the missing quantity:


1 L = 350 mL + ______ mL


  1.     600
  2.     650
  3.     700
  4.     750
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 650
:
B

We know that


1 Litre = 1000 mL


1000 mL = 350 mL + _____ mL


 1000 mL - 350 mL =  _____ mL
                                     = 650 mL
 1000 mL = 350 mL + 650 mL


Question 27.


If Raju travels 3 km everyday, then how many centimetres does he travel everyday?


  1.     3000 cm
  2.     300000 cm
  3.     30000 cm
  4.     300 cm
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 300000 cm
:
B

When we convert a larger unit (km) to a smaller unit (m), we multiply the given measure by the conversion factor.


Since 1 km = 1000 m, we multiply 3 by 3000 to convert 3 kms into metres.


i.e., 3km = 3 x 1000 m = 3000 m


To convert metres into centimetres, we multiply the given measure by 100.


i.e., 3000 m = 3000 x 100 cm = 300000 cm


Thus, Raju travels a total of 300000 cm everyday.


Question 28.


Subtract: 1 mg from 20 mg


  1.     19 m
  2.     19 g
  3.     19 mg
  4.     1.9 g
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 19 mg
:
C

Since the units are same, the values can be easily subtracted 


20 mg - 1 mg = 19 mg


Question 29.


The amount of milk in a spoon is approximately:


  1.     5 mm
  2.     5 cm 
  3.     5 mL
  4.     5 L
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 5 mL
:
C

We know that spoon is a small object which can hold very little quantity of liquid. 


Here, millimetre (mm) and centimetre (cm) are units of length.


'Litre' is used to measure a large quantity of liquid.


Therefore, milk in a spoon is approximately 5 mL.


Question 30.


An ant goes 3 cm forward then goes 2 cm backwards and then finally 5 cm forward. What is the final position of the ant if the initial position of the ant is shown on the scale? 


An Ant Goes 3 Cm Forward Then Goes 2 Cm Backwards And Then F...


  1.     6 cm
  2.     7 cm
  3.     8 cm
  4.     9 cm
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 8 cm
:
C

Initial position of the ant = 2 cm


Ant goes  3 cm forward = 2 cm + 3 cm = 5 cm


Ant goes 2 cm backward = 5 cm - 2 cm = 3 cm


Finally, the ant goes 5 cm forward = 3 cm + 5 cm = 8 cm
The final position of the ant is 8 cm
