While teaching correct method of measuring volume of a solid using a measuring cylinder, Kavita mentions the following steps (not in correct sequence) to be followed.
1. Note the reading of level of water in the cylinder.
2. Suspend the solid with a thread inside water in the cylinder.
3. Record the least count of the measuring cylinder.
4. Put sufficient water in the cylinder and note the reading.
Which one of the following is the correct sequence of steps for the said purpose?

Options

A. (a) 1,2,3 and 4
B. (b) 3, 2, 4 and 1
C. (c) 3,4, 2 and 1
D. (d) 4, 2, 3 and 1

Answer

C

Explanation

Using a measuring cylinder, the correct method of measuring volume of a solid is given below
(i) Record the least count of the measuring cylinder.
(ii) Put sufficient waster in the cylinder and note the reading. (iii) Suspend the solid with a thread inside water in the cylinder.
(iv) Note the reading of level of water in the cylinder.
From the above method, we find that option (3) is correct sequence.
