A length is measured as `7.60 m`. This is the same as

A

`7600 mm`

B

`0.0076 mm`

C

`760 cm`

D

`0.76 dm`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
All the choices are equivalent but the answer must possess three significant digits as significant digits does not change on conversion from one system to another . So appropriate choice is `( c )`
