Question

Amongst the following options, the standard unit of volume is in
$
  {\text{A}}{\text{. m}} \\
  {\text{B}}{\text{. }}{{\text{m}}^2} \\
  {\text{C}}{\text{. }}{{\text{m}}^3} \\
  {\text{D}}{\text{. None of the above}} \\
$

Answer 1

Hint – To find the standard unit of volume we consider a formula which represents volume and compute each of the standard units of its components.

Complete step-by-step answer:

Let us consider a cuboid. A cuboid is a 3D object.

We know the volume of a cuboid is given by V = l × b × h, where l, b and h are the length, breadth and the height of the cuboid respectively.

All the three dimensions l, b and h are measured in the standard units "meters" denoted by m.
Units of Volume = m × m × m

Hence, the unit of measurement of volume of cuboid is in cubic meters or ${{\text{m}}^3}$.
So, option C is the correct answer.

Note – In order to solve this type of question the key is to know the concept of standard units. A standard unit of measurement is a quantifiable language that helps everyone understand the association of the object with the measurement. We use the SI units of measurement in India. The base unit of volume in the SI system is the cubic meter.
