- Hint: SI unit of volume is m3 and CGS unit of volume is cm3, convert metre into centimetre or centimetre into metre by using the formula, 1m=100cm ,then take the ratio of the CGS unit to the SI unit to find whether the given statement is true or false.

Formula used - 1m=100cm

Complete step-by-step solution -
The SI unit means System International unit, which uses metres, kilograms and seconds for length, mass and time. It is also called the MKS system.
Whereas, the CGS system uses centimetres, grams and seconds for length, mass and time.
We know that the CGS unit of volume is cm3 .
Also, the SI unit of volume is m3.
Now, ratio of CGS unit of volume to that of SI unit of volume ` =cm3m3
Now we know that 1m=100cm
So, we can write that 1m3=(100cm)3=106cm3
Putting this in the ratio we get-
Ratio of CGS unit of volume to the SI unit of volume =cm3106cm3=1106
Therefore, we can say that the given statement is true.

Note – Whenever such types of questions appear then first define what is the SI unit and then what is the CGS system of the unit. As mentioned in the solution, SI unit of volume is m3 and CGS unit of volume is cm3, and then taking the ratio of CGS unit of volume to SI unit of volume, and then substituting 1m3=(100cm)3=106cm3 , we found the ratio and found out that the given statement is true. Always keep in mind that the CGS and SI units are different, so you should know the basic formulas to convert one unit into another unit.
