Yard is to inch as quart is to

[A].	gallon	[B].	ounce
[C].	milk	[D].	liquid

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

A yard is a larger measure than an inch (a yard contains 36 inches). A quart is a larger measure than an ounce (a quart contains 32 ounces). Gallon (choice a) is incorrect because it is larger than a quart. Choices c and d are incorrect because they are not units of measurement.

If Yard is larger than inch then between yard & inch there is foot. So why not Gallon that is as away from Ounce as Yard from inch.

Ounce is a measure of weight. So I think gallon must be correct answer.
