The correct Answer is:
To analyze the two statements given in the question, let's break down each statement step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze Statement 1 **Statement 1:** "When the unit for measurement of a quantity is changed, its numerical value changes." - **Understanding the Statement:** This statement is addressing the relationship between the unit of measurement and the numerical value of a quantity. - **Example:** Consider a length of wire that measures 1 meter. If we convert this length into centimeters, we know that: \[ 1 \text{ meter} = 100 \text{ centimeters} \] - **Conclusion for Statement 1:** The quantity (length of wire) remains the same, but the numerical value changes from 1 (meter) to 100 (centimeters). Thus, this statement is **true**. ### Step 2: Analyze Statement 2 **Statement 2:** "Smaller the unit of measurement, greater its numerical value." - **Understanding the Statement:** This statement suggests that as the unit of measurement becomes smaller, the numerical value associated with that measurement increases. - **Example:** Using the same example, we have: - 1 meter = 100 centimeters - **Comparison of Units:** Here, the meter is a larger unit compared to the centimeter. When we use a smaller unit (centimeter), the numerical value increases from 1 to 100. - **Conclusion for Statement 2:** The statement implies that smaller units always yield greater numerical values, which is not universally true. For instance, if we consider millimeters: \[ 1 \text{ meter} = 1000 \text{ millimeters} \] Here, the numerical value is even greater. However, the statement does not hold true in all contexts, especially when comparing different quantities. Therefore, this statement is **false**. ### Final Conclusion - **Statement 1:** True - **Statement 2:** False
