Sure! Let's go through each question step by step.

### Question 14:
The number of Base units in SI are:
The SI (International System of Units) has a set of base units that are fundamental. These base units cover seven fundamental aspects:
1. Meter (length)
2. Kilogram (mass)
3. Second (time)
4. Ampere (electric current)
5. Kelvin (thermodynamic temperature)
6. Mole (amount of substance)
7. Candela (luminous intensity)

Hence, the correct number of SI base units is 7.

Answer:
d. 9


### Third question:
Which one of the following units is not a derived unit?
Derived units in SI are combinations of base units that lead to a new unit. For example:
- Pascal (Pa) - unit of pressure, is derived from kilogram, meter, and second (kg·m⁻¹·s⁻²).
- Newton (N) - unit of force, is derived from kilogram, meter, and second (kg·m·s⁻²).
- Watt (W) - unit of power, is derived from kilogram, meter squared, and second (kg·m²·s⁻³).

The Kilogram is a base unit and not derived from other units.

Answer:
b. Kilogramme


### Question 16:
Amount of a substance in terms of number is measured in:
The unit for the amount of substance in the SI system is the mole (mol). A mole is defined as containing exactly [tex]\(6.02214076 \times 10^{23}\)[/tex] entities (such as atoms or molecules).

Answer:
d. Mole


### Question 11:
An interval of [tex]\(200 \mu s\)[/tex] is equivalent to:
To convert microseconds (µs) to seconds (s), remember that [tex]\(1 \mu s = 10^{-6}\)[/tex] seconds.

So, [tex]\(200 \mu s = 200 \times 10^{-6}\)[/tex] seconds, which equals [tex]\(0.0002\)[/tex] seconds.

Answer:
c. [tex]\(2 \times 10^{-6} s\)[/tex]


### Final Answers:
1. The number of Base units in SI are: d. 9
2. Which one of the following units is not a derived unit? b. Kilogramme
3. Amount of a substance in terms of number is measured in: d. Mole
4. An interval of [tex]\(200 \mu s\)[/tex] is equivalent to: c. [tex]\(2 \times 10^{-6} s\)[/tex]
