Question

Choose the correct statements.
(A) Weight of a substance is the amount of matter present in it.
(B) Mass is the force exerted by gravity on an object.
(C) Volume is the amount of space occupied by a substance.
(D) Temperatures below \(0^\circ\)C are possible in Celsius scale, but in Kelvin scale negative temperature is not possible.
(E) Precision refers to the closeness of various measurements for the same quantity.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• A. (A), (B) and (C) Only
• B. (B), (C) and (D) Only
• C. (C), (D) and (E) Only
• D. (A), (D) and (E) Only

Hint:

Weight is related to gravity, while mass is a measure of the amount of matter. Precision refers to the reproducibility of measurements.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

- (A) is incorrect. Weight is the force exerted by gravity on an object, not the amount of matter. 
- (B) is incorrect. Mass is the amount of matter, not the force due to gravity. 
- (C) is correct. Volume is indeed the amount of space occupied by a substance. 
- (D) is correct. Temperatures below \(0^\circ\)C are possible in Celsius scale, but negative temperatures are not possible in the Kelvin scale. - (E) is correct. Precision refers to the closeness of repeated measurements. Thus, the correct answer is (3) (C), (D) and (E) Only.
