1 ton equals to A) 100 kg B) 1000 kg C) 10 kg D) 10000 kg

 1 ton equals to

  • 100 kg

  • 1000 kg

  • 10 kg

  • 10000 kg

The correct answer for the given question is option B i.e., 1000 kg.

A base measure of the fundamental unit is used for measuring the physical quantities. To know what 1 ton is equal to, it is essential to understand the relationship between ton and kilogram. 

Different quantities which are the scaled version of the fundamental units are used for measuring mass. Similarly, a unit called a ton is used for mass measuring purposes which are significantly large when compared to kilograms (the other mass measure unit). The ton is a popular measuring unit and is primarily used as a storage unit. 

The below-given are the three types of existing tons:

U.S. Ton (short) = 907.185 kg (2,000 lbs)

Metric Ton (tone) = 1000 kg (2,204.62 lbs) = 1 Mg (Megagram)

Imperial / UK (long) Ton = 1,016.05 kg (2,240 lbs)

In India, 1 metric ton or tonnes is taken as equal to 1000 kg. In many regions, 1 ton is referred to as 1000 kg but actually, it is a metric ton. 

So, it can be determined that the weight in ton is equal to the ratio of the weight in kilograms to 1000.

For example, 

  • If 500 kilograms are to be converted into tons, then it will be 0.5 tons (500/1000)
  • If 2 tons are to be converted into kilograms, then it will be 2000 kg (2 x 1000))

Hence, it can be concluded that the correct option is B because 1 ton is equal to 1000 kg.
