Question

$1$ metric ton is equal to

• A. $100$ quintals
• B. $10$ quintals
• C. $\frac{1}{10}$ quintals
• D. $\frac{1}{100}$quintals

Answer 1

The correct option is B

$10$ quintals

Explanation for the correct option:

Metric ton is a unit of weight and is equal to 1000 kg.

Quintal is also a unit of weight and is equal to 100 kg.

$1\mathrm{ton}=1000\mathrm{kg}$

$1\mathrm{quintal}=100\mathrm{kg}$

So,

$$\begin{gathered} 1\mathrm{ton}=1000\mathrm{kg} \\ =10\times 100 \\ =10\mathrm{quintal}\left[\because 1\mathrm{quintal}=100\mathrm{kg}\right] \end{gathered}$$

Therefore, $1$ metric ton is equal to$10\mathrm{quintal}$.

So, Option A is correct answer

Explanation for the incorrect options:

As determined above, $1$ metric ton is equal to$10\mathrm{quintal}$, which not equivalent to the value mentioned in Option B, Option C, and Option C.

So, Option B, Option C, and Option D are incorrect options.

Hence, the Correct option is Option A.
