Question

In ancient times, people used 'angul' (finger), a mutthi (fist), length of human feet for measurements. Later on, these were not used for measurements.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

The size of body parts varies from human to human. These cannot be considered as a reference for measurement. We needed a standard system of measurement. Therefore, we have standard units like kilogram, metre, etc.
For example,1kg of rice in India should weigh 1kg in Europe as well.
Therefore, 'angul' (finger), a mutthi (fist) and length of human feet cannot be used for measurement.
