Which one of the following is correct?a)Capacity is measured in cubit....
Short length is measured in centimetres.
Explanation:
Short length is typically measured in centimetres. Centimetre is a unit of length in the metric system. It is equal to one hundredth of a meter. The symbol for centimetre is "cm".
The other options provided in the question are incorrect:
a) Capacity is not measured in cubit. Cubit is an ancient unit of length used in some civilizations, but it is not used for measuring capacity.
b) Long distance is not measured in millimetre. Millimetre is a unit of length, not distance. Long distances are typically measured in kilometers or miles.
c) Time is not measured in grams. Gram is a unit of mass, not time. Time is typically measured in seconds, minutes, hours, days, etc.
d) Short length is measured in centimetres. This is the correct option.
e) None of these. This option is incorrect as the correct answer is option 'D'.
