Question

a 1000ml graduated cylinder has 20 main divisions, and each main division is further divided into 10 subdivisions. the smallest volume increment for this cylinder is 5 ml:

1. true
2. false

Explanation:

Step1: Find volume per main division

Total volume is 1000 mL, 20 main divisions. So volume per main division: $ \frac{1000}{20} = 50 $ mL.

Step2: Find smallest increment

Each main division has 10 subdivisions. So smallest increment: $ \frac{50}{10} = 5 $ mL. So the statement is True.

Answer:

1. True
