The mass and volume of a body are 4.237 ...

The mass and volume of a body are 4.237 g and `2.5cm^(3)` respectively. The density of the material of the body in correct significant figures is

A

`1.6048g cm^(-3)`

B

`1.69 cm^(-3)`

C

`1.7g cm^(-3)`

D

`1.695g cm^(-3)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
In this question, density should be reported to two signigcant figures Density `= (4.237g)/(2.5cm^(3)) = 1.6948`
As rounding off the numbers, we get density `= 1.7`
