Question

We take a one-metre rod and mark $4$ points on it such that each segment is of equal length.

If we take OA to be X units, then X units are equal to:

• A. $2m$
• B. $2000mm$
• C. $20cm$
• D. $2cm$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $20cm$

If we mark $4$ points then there will be $5$ parts on the scale.

We know $1m=100cm$

If one-metre is divided into five equal parts then each part measures $\frac{1}{5}m$.
$\therefore$$Eachpart=\frac{100}{5}cm$
$\Rightarrow Eachpart=20cm$.
