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

A

`1.6045gcm^(-3)`

B

`1.6gcm^(-3)`

C

`1.7gcm^(-3)`

D

`1.695gcm^(-3)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Using the rules of significant digits it is obvious that `(c )` is the correct `i.e.1.7` g `cm^(-3)`.
