Question 31.


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 32.


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 33.


 


 


  1.     100 mL
  2.     200 mL
  3.     300 mL
  4.     400 mL
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> 400 mL
:
D

Capacity of 5 cups=2 litres


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=2×1000 mL   (1 litre=1000 mL)
                                    =2000 mL
  Capacity of 1 cup=20005 mL
                                       =400 mL
Thus, the capacity of 1 cup equals 400 mL.


Question 34.


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 cup has more 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 35.


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 the object weighs.


 


Question 36.


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 37.


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 already have 300 g,
1000 g - 300 g = 700 g


Therefore, 300 g + 700 g = 1000 g


Question 38.


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 multiply by the conversion factor.


Therefore, to convert length given in metres (m) to centimetres (cm) we have to multiply by 100.


Question 39.


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 from 1 cm. Ideally, it should start from zero. So, subtract 1 cm from 6 cm.


i.e., Length of the pencil =6cm1cm=5cm


Question 40.


Find the total weight 4 dumbells if one dumbell weighs 800 grams.


  1.     4 kg
  2.     0.32 kg
  3.     32 kg
  4.     3.2 kg
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> 3.2 kg
:
D

      Weight of 1 dumbbell =800 gWeight of 4 dumbbells=800 g×4
                                             =3200 g


Since the options are in kilograms, we need to convert 3200 g to kg.


When we convert a smaller unit (g) to a larger unit (kg), we divide the given measure by the conversion factor.
         1 kg=1000 g
3200 g=32001000 kg
                 =3.2 kg
Thus, the weight of 4 dumbbells is 3.2 kg.
