The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze the two statements provided: **Statement-I**: The product of the numerical value and unit of a physical quantity remains the same in every system of unit. **Statement-II**: The magnitude of a physical quantity remains the same in every system of units. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Concept**: - A physical quantity can be expressed as the product of its numerical value (magnitude) and its unit. For example, if we have a length \( L \), it can be expressed as \( L = n \times u \), where \( n \) is the numerical value and \( u \) is the unit. 2. **Analyzing Statement-I**: - According to Statement-I, regardless of the unit system (e.g., CGS, SI), the product \( n \times u \) should remain constant for a given physical quantity. - For instance, if a length is measured as 10 cm in the CGS system, it can also be expressed as 0.1 m in the SI system. Here: - In CGS: \( n = 10 \), \( u = \text{cm} \) - In SI: \( n = 0.1 \), \( u = \text{m} \) - The product in both cases represents the same physical length, confirming that Statement-I is correct. 3. **Analyzing Statement-II**: - Statement-II claims that the magnitude of a physical quantity remains the same in every system of units. - However, as we change the unit from cm to m, the numerical value (magnitude) changes: - In CGS: \( n = 10 \) (cm) - In SI: \( n = 0.1 \) (m) - This indicates that the numerical value (magnitude) changes with the unit, thus making Statement-II incorrect. 4. **Conclusion**: - Since Statement-I is correct and Statement-II is incorrect, the final answer is that Statement-I is true while Statement-II is false. ### Final Answer: - Statement-I is correct. - Statement-II is incorrect.
