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.

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.

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.

Quart and Gallon are the units of volume, whereas ounce is the unit of mass.

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.

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