The correct Answer is:
To determine whether the statement "In C.G.S. system, gram is the unit of mass" is true or false, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the C.G.S. System The C.G.S. system stands for Centimeter-Gram-Second system. It is one of the systems of measurement used in physics. ### Step 2: Identify the Units in C.G.S. System In the C.G.S. system: - The unit of length is the centimeter (cm). - The unit of mass is the gram (g). - The unit of time is the second (s). ### Step 3: Analyze the Statement The statement claims that "gram is the unit of mass" in the C.G.S. system. Since we have identified that the unit of mass in the C.G.S. system is indeed the gram, we can conclude that the statement is correct. ### Step 4: Conclusion Thus, the statement "In C.G.S. system, gram is the unit of mass" is **true**. ---
