Question

How many kilograms are there in one metric ton?
(A). 10
(B). 100
(C). 1000
(D). 10000

Answer 1

Hint: The official name for metric tonne as set by S.I. standard is tonne. But the term metric ton is commonly used in the US. 1 metric ton is equal to 1000kg. The measurement unit tonne is used to measure heavy objects like car, bus large cargo etc.

COMPLETE STEP BY STEP SOLUTION:
There are 1000 kilograms in a metric ton. Metric ton is represented by t. This measurement unit is used worldwide. In some countries like the UK, Australia, Canada, the term ‘tonne’ is used instead of metric ton for trade.
Hence the correct option is C.

Additional Information:
Some other units and relation between them:
Length is a fundamental unit. Fundamental quantities are the basic or base quantities. These are independent of each other. They consist of the quantities which are essential to form all other physical quantities apart from fundamental quantities. Derived quantities are the quantities which are formed with the help of fundamental quantities.

All fundamental quantities with their units are:
Mass (kg)
Length (m)
Time (s)
Current (A)
Temperature (K)
Amount of substance (mol)
Luminous intensity (cd)

All other quantities and their units can be derived by some combination of these fundamental quantities.

Note: This relation must be remembered as it can be used in question and will always not be provided.
