Lightbulb ATPL exam question that's bugging me!

Hiya,

I've just taken the August exams and one question is still on my mind. Here it is:

In what units are pressure measured?

1. PSI

2. N/dm squared

3. something else


Now, strictly speaking the SI unit of pressure is the Pascal (N/m squared), but here there appear to be two possible answers. PSI is the Imperial unit, and still used widely. But the "N / decimetre squared" is also correct, but just not the correct SI format!

Any suggestions ????
