Units and Measurement MCQ for NEET with Answers

Units and Measurement MCQ: In order to measure physical quantities like mass, length, and time, a standard measurement is required. This standard of measurement is the unit of that physical quantity.

For example, the unit of length is the meter, and one meter is a standard length having a specified meaning. To find an object's length, one must determine how many times this standard length meter is present in the object's length. The method of measuring involves comparing a physical quantity to a standard quantity.
