The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the given conversions is incorrect, we will analyze each option step by step.
### Step-by-Step Solution:
1. **Option (i): 10 decades = 1 century**
- A decade is 10 years.
- Therefore, 10 decades = 10 × 10 years = 100 years.
- A century is also defined as 100 years.
- Conclusion: 10 decades = 1 century is **correct**.
2. **Option (ii): 100 centuries = 1 millennium**
- A century is 100 years.
- Therefore, 100 centuries = 100 × 100 years = 10,000 years.
- A millennium is defined as 1,000 years.
- Conclusion: 100 centuries = 1 millennium is **incorrect**.
3. **Option (iii): 100 inches = 2.54 metres**
- The conversion factor states that 1 inch = 0.0254 meters.
- Therefore, 100 inches = 100 × 0.0254 meters = 2.54 meters.
- Conclusion: 100 inches = 2.54 metres is **correct**.
4. **Option (iv): 100 millimetres = 10 centimetres**
- The conversion factor states that 1 centimetre = 10 millimetres.
- Therefore, 100 millimetres = 100 ÷ 10 centimetres = 10 centimetres.
- Conclusion: 100 millimetres = 10 centimetres is **correct**.
### Final Conclusion:
- The incorrect conversion is **Option (ii): 100 centuries = 1 millennium**.
To determine which of the given conversions is incorrect, we will analyze each option step by step.
### Step-by-Step Solution:
1. **Option (i): 10 decades = 1 century**
- A decade is 10 years.
