Yard is to inch as quart is to
Answer: Option
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.

Quart is a quarter of a gallon, thus a unit of volume. They're saying 1 quart = 32 ounces. But I'm afraid they're wrong, because 1 quart = 32 fluid ounces. Ounce and fluid ounce are two completely different units, the former being a unit of mass and the latter a unit of volume. Hope they resolve the issue soon.

Here, Gallon should be the right answer. Look at the other problems. It is about the types of measurement first. Gallon and quart are for the volume of the liquid. Oz is for mass.

Here ounce is a fluid ounce, which is a unit of volume lesser than a quart but greater than pint.
gallon>quart>fluid ounce>pint.
Ounce is also a unit of weight =28.35gm.
gallon>quart>fluid ounce>pint.
Ounce is also a unit of weight =28.35gm.

Whereas Pint is the unit of measurement of liquid which is less than a quart.
Gallon>Quart>Pint.
Ounce in itself is totally different measurement ie. Of mass.
Gallon>Quart>Pint.
Ounce in itself is totally different measurement ie. Of mass.

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.

Yard and inch are units of length.
Similarly, quart and gallon are units of volume.
Hence, the correct answer is gallon.

Quart is unit of liquid capacity which is equal to quarter of a gallon. I think gallon is the right answer.

A gallon should be the right answer because both Gallons are quarts measured in litres, as ounces in kgs.

Ounce is a measure of mass. But gallon is a measure of liquids. Hence gallon is the answer.
