Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option C

100

Solution :

The correct option is 100.

Let us solve the problem step-by-step by converting the given mass to volume based on the standard density of water.

Step 1: Convert the weight of water into grams
We are given that 1 litre of water weighs 1 kg.
Since 1 kg=1000 g, we can write:
1000 g of water=1 litre

Step 2: Convert litres to cubic millimetres (mm³)
Recall the volume unit conversions:
1 litre=1000 cm3
Since 1 cm=10 mm, cubing both sides gives:
1 cm3=(10 mm)3=1000 mm3
Therefore, 1 litre in cubic millimetres is:
1 litre=1000×1000 mm3=106 mm3

Step 3: Relate mass in grams directly to volume in cubic millimetres
From Step 1 and Step 2:
1000 g of water=106 mm3
Dividing both sides by 1000, we find the volume of 1 g of water:
1 g of water=1000 mm3

Step 4: Calculate the volume for 0.1 g of water
Multiply both sides by 0.1:
0.1 g of water=0.1×1000 mm3=100 mm3

Thus, 100 cubic millimetres of water will weigh 0.1 gm.
