The words arranged in ascending order of magnitude are.

Centi, Deci, Deca, Hecto, Kilo. This corresponds to the numerical values 0.01, 0.1, 10, 100, and 1000, respectively.

@Suvarna.

1kilometer = 10hectometer.

You said in reverse order.

Hai @Ajit, i would like to clarify your doubt.

For Example, take the conversion table of meter.

Then,
1 Milimeter = 10 Centimeters 10,00,000 Kilometers.
1 Centimeter = 10 Decimeter.
1 Decimeter = 10 Meter.
1 Meter = 10 Decameter.
1 Decameter = 10 Hectometer.
1 Hectometer = 10 Kilometer.

So, From Mili to Kilo i.e. in Increasing Order.
It will be option 'c'.
2, 5, 3, 1, 4.

1. Centi 2. Deci 3. Deca 4. Hecto 5. Kilo.

I'm still getting confusion. please clarify me.

1 Kilo meter = 10^3 meter,
1 Hecto meter = 10^2 meter,
1 Deca meter = 10^1 meter,
1 Deci meter = 10^-1 meter,
1 Centi meter = 10^-2 meter,
1 Milli meter = 10^-3 meter.

Kilo (gram) = 1000 grams.
Hecto (gram) = 100 grams.
Deca (gram) = 10 grams.
(gram) = 1 gram.
Centi (gram) = 0.1 gram.
Milli (gram) = 0.01gram.
