Question

Pick the incorrect representation(s) of unit from the following.

• A. 25 kilograms
• B. 25 Kgs
• C. 25 Kilograms
• D. 25 kgs

Answer 1

Answer: (B), (C), (D)

The correct options are
B 25 Kgs
C 25 Kilograms
D 25 kgs

• The short form of a unit should always be written with its first letter in lower case, unless it is named after a scientist. So, 25 Kgs is wrong, 25 kg is the correct representation.
• Unit should not be written in plural form when written in short form. So, 25 kgs is wrong, 25 kg is the correct representation.
• Plural form of the unit is allowed only in full form, but the first letter should not be capitalized. So, 25 Kilograms is wrong. 25 kilograms is the correct representation.
