Question

Consider the following statements and choose the incorrect one:

• A. Fortnight, month, and season are units for measuring time.
• B. Odometer is an instrument used for measuring the distance travelled by a vehicle.
• C. Time is the only factor that determines how fast a body is.
• D. Speedometer is an instrument that measures the speed of a vehicle.

Answer 1

The correct option is C Time is the only factor that determines how fast a body is.

Option A is correct as fortnight, month and season are units for measuring time.
One fortnight consists of 14 days. Each month consists of a particular number of days. Each season (for eg. summer, winter, etc.) consists of a particular number of months.
Odometers are used to measure the distance travelled by vehicles, so option B is correct.
Option D is also correct, since speedometers measure a vehicle's speed.
Only option C is incorrect as the speed of a body depends on the time taken as well as the distance covered by it.
