• B. Both statements are incorrect.
• C. Statement 2 is correct and statement 1 is incorrect.
• D. Both statements are correct.

Answer 1

The correct option is B Both statements are incorrect.

We have learnt that:

• Measurement is the comparison of an unknown quantity with a known quantity.
• Palm is the length of a palm of a human body. It is not a standard unit of measurement as everybody does not have the same body and thus value of palm varies from person to person.

Therefore both the statements are incorrect.
