The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we will analyze both statements regarding significant figures and determine their validity. ### Step 1: Analyze Statement 1 **Statement 1:** The number of significant figures in 0.001 is 1 while in 0.100 it is 3. - For the number **0.001**: - The leading zeros (the three zeros before the 1) are not counted as significant figures. - The only significant figure here is the digit **1**. - Therefore, **0.001 has 1 significant figure**. - For the number **0.100**: - The first zero before the 1 is not counted, but the two zeros after the 1 are counted as significant figures because they come after a decimal point and a non-zero digit. - Thus, the significant figures in **0.100** are **1, 0, and 0**. - Therefore, **0.100 has 3 significant figures**. **Conclusion for Statement 1:** This statement is **true**. ### Step 2: Analyze Statement 2 **Statement 2:** Zeros before a non-zero significant digit are not counted while zeros after a non-zero significant digit are counted. - This statement describes the rules for counting significant figures: - **Leading zeros** (zeros before the first non-zero digit) are not counted. - **Trailing zeros** (zeros after a non-zero digit and after a decimal point) are counted as significant figures. **Conclusion for Statement 2:** This statement is also **true**. ### Final Conclusion Both statements are correct: - **Statement 1 is true**: 0.001 has 1 significant figure, and 0.100 has 3 significant figures. - **Statement 2 is true**: The rules for counting significant figures are correctly stated. ### Answer Both statements are true. ---
