• C. It means that the water melon is 2 times the unit of mass, i.e. milligram
• D. It means that the water melon is 2 times the unit of mass, i.e. quintal.

Answer 1

The correct option is A It means that the water melon is 2 times the unit of mass, i.e. kilogram.

Measurement of every quantity has two parts, a value and a unit. When we measure the mass of a watermelon as 2 kg, it means that it is 2 times the unit of mass, i.e, kilogram (kg). So any measurement has to have both value and the unit.
