Here, quintal and ton both are the unit of mass. 

The metric ton is a unit of mass and one metric tone is equal to $1000$ kilograms.

Slug is the unit of mass in US common system of units. It is a mass which accelerates by $1\ ft/s^2$ when a one pound force is applied.   

When a body moves from one planet another the gravitational force acting on it changes but mass remains the same. Hence mass on earth and on the moon of any object is the same.

We know that, $1$ miligram (mg) $=10^{-3}$ gram

We know that, $1$ quintal $=100\ kg$

In the metric system, distance is measured in meter.
