Assertion(A) Significant figures for 0.200 is 3 where as for 200 it is 1.
Reason(R) Zero at the end or right of a number are significatn provided they are not on the right side of the decimal point.

A

Both A and R are true and R is the correct explnanation of A.

B

Both A and R true but R is not the correct explanation of A.

C

A is true but R is false.

D

Both A and R are flase.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Assertion is true but Reason is false.
0.200contains 3 while 200 contains only one significant figure because zero at the end or right of a number are significant provided they are on the right side of the decimal point.

Assertion : Number of significant figure in 0.005 is one and that is 0.500 is three Reason : This is became zeros are not significant

Statement-1: The number of significant figures in 0.001 is 1 while in 0.100 it is 3. Statement-II: Zeros before a non-zero significant digit are not counted while zeros after a non-zero significant digit are counted .

In a number without decimal, what is the significance of zeros on the right of non-zero digits ?

In a number without decimal , what is the significant of zeros on the right of non - zero digits?

(i) Add 73.24 mL and 20.3 mL (ii) Subtract 21.2342 g foru 27.87 g Strategy: We first ensure that the quatities to be added or subtracted are expressed in the same units. We carry out the adition or subtraction. Then we follow rule 1 to express the answer to the correct number of significant figures, i.e., in the final answer, the number of right of the decimal point should be equal to the number of digits after the decimal point.
