Question 1. To convert length given in metres (m) into centimetres (cm) we: 
  1.    divide by 100
  2.    multiply  by 100
  3.    divide by 1000
  4.    multiply by 1000
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> multiply  by 100
:
B
When we convert a larger unit (m) to a smaller unit (cm), we multiplyby the conversion factor.
Therefore, to convert length given in metres (m) to centimetres (cm) we have to multiply by 100.
Question 2. Arrange the following in order of their increasing capacities.
Arrange The Following In Order Of Their Increasing Capacitie...
  1.    Bucket, Jug, Cup, Spoon
  2.    Spoon, Jug, Bucket, Cup
  3.    Spoon, Cup, Jug, Bucket
  4.    Cup, Jug, Spoon, Bucket
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Spoon, Cup, Jug, Bucket
:
C
If we observe the picture, we see that the spoon is the smallest object which can hold the least quantity of liquid.
The cuphasmore capacity than the spoon.
The jug has more capacity than both the spoon and the cup.
The bucket can hold more liquid compared to the spoon, the cup and the jug.
Question 3.  
 
  1.    100 mL
  2.    200 mL
  3.    300 mL
  4.    400 mL
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> 400 mL
:
D
Capacity of 5 cups=2litres
When we convert a larger unit (L) to a smaller unit (mL), we multiply the given measure by powers of 10.
Capacity of 5 cups=2×1000mL(1litre=1000mL)
=2000mL
Capacity of 1 cup=20005mL
=400mL
Thus, the capacity of 1 cup equals 400 mL.
Question 4. 300 g + ___ g = 1 kg
  1.    600
  2.    700
  3.    800
  4.    1000
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 700
:
B
We know that, 1 kg = 1000 g
We alreadyhave 300 g,
1000 g - 300 g = 700 g
Therefore, 300 g + 700 g= 1000 g
Question 5. By how much is the length of string A more than string B?
By How Much Is The length Of String A More than String B?...
  1.    10 mm
  2.    20 mm
  3.    30 mm
  4.    40 mm
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 10 mm
:
A
String `A` is starting from 1 cm.
Subtract 1 cm from 9 cm.
Lenght of string A
=9cm1cm=8cm
String `B` is starting from 3 cm.
Subtract 3 cm from 10 cm.
Length of string B
=10cm3cm=7cm
Thus, the difference in length of String `A` and String `B`
=8cm7cm=1cm=10mm
Thelength of string A is morethan string B by 10 mm.
Question 6. 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 7. Half a metre is ______.
  1.    500 m
  2.    500 cm
  3.    50 m
  4.    50 cm
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> 50 cm
:
D
We know that 1 m = 100 cm
Half a metre = 100 cm ÷ 2= 50 cm
Question 8. 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 9. Which of the following would you use to measure the weight of a rock ?
  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 the length. For example the length of a cloth. Compass shows the direction. Measuring can is used to measure the volume of a liquid.
The balance scale is an instrument used to measure the mass. It is the device for weighing and find how much theobject weighs.
Question 10. 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 from1 cm. Ideally, it should start from zero. So, subtract 1 cm from 6 cm.
i.e., Length of the pencil =6cm1cm=5cm
