Question

Which of the following should be preferred to measure the volume of a liquid?

• A. Measuring beaker
• B. (a) and (b) above.
• C. Measuring cylinder
• D. Bucket

Answer 1

The correct option is B (a) and (b) above.

Calibrated measuring cylinders and measuring beakers are to be preferred to measure the volume of a liquid.
Measuring cylinders can measure a small amount of volumes while measuring beakers are used to measure only a definite volume of the liquid.

The bucket is not preferred to measure volume because it is not calibrated and is not reliable.
