Question

Which of the following is not a derived unit?

• A. Weight of a cube
• B. Volume of a cube
• C. Area of a cube
• D. Height of a cube

Answer 1

The correct option is D Height of a cube

Derived units are units which may be expressed in terms of base units by means of mathematical symbols of multiplication and division.

So units of volume, cube area and weight are derived from their base unit.

For example, Area $=l\times b$ so it is derived from dimension of length and breadth. Height is a base unit.
