Correct answer: A
-
Rules for significant figures
- All non-zero digits are significant.
- Zeros between non-zero digits are significant.
- Leading zeros are not significant.
- Trailing zeros to the right of a decimal are significant.
-
Count significant figures in each number
(A)
- The two zeros are between non-zero digits.
- So all digits are significant.
- Significant figures .
- Hence, .
(B)
- The initial zero is a leading zero, so it is not significant.
- Digits counted: .
- The zero is between non-zero digits, so it is significant.
- Significant figures .
- Hence, .
(C)
- In a decimal number, zeros between non-zero digits are significant.
- Also, trailing zeros to the right of decimal are significant.
- Digits: are all significant.
- Significant figures .
- Hence, .
(D)
- Leading zeros before the first non-zero digit are not significant.
- After the first non-zero digit, zeros between non-zero digits are significant.
- The final zero is to the right of decimal and after a non-zero digit, so it is significant.
- Significant digits counted: .
- Significant figures .
- Hence, .
-
