Correct Answer :

Option D

1, 2 and 3

Solution :

The correct option is 1, 2 and 3.

Let us analyze each statement step-by-step to understand why they are all correct:

1. Analysis of Statement 1: 1000 litres = 1 m3
A litre (L) is a metric unit of volume. One litre is defined as the volume of a cube with side length 10 centimeters (10 cm = 0.1 m).
Therefore, we can express the volume of 1 litre in cubic meters as:

1 litre=(0.1 m)3=0.001 m3

To find the number of litres in 1 cubic meter, we take the reciprocal:

1 m3=10.001 litres=1000 litres

Thus, Statement 1 is correct.

2. Analysis of Statement 2: 1 metric ton = 1000 kg
A metric ton (often abbreviated as tonne) is a non-SI unit of mass accepted for use with the International System of Units (SI). It is defined precisely as 1000 kilograms (kg).
Therefore, Statement 2 is correct.

3. Analysis of Statement 3: 1 hectare = 10000 m2
A hectare (ha) is a metric unit of area primarily used to measure land. One hectare is defined as the area of a square with side lengths of 100 meters.
We calculate the area in square meters as follows:

1 hectare=100 m×100 m=10000 m2

Thus, Statement 3 is also correct.

Since all three conversion statements are mathematically and scientifically accurate, the correct option is indeed 1, 2 and 3.
