Options

A. Statement-1 is True , Statement-2 is True ,Statement-2 is a correct explanation for Statement-1
B. Statement-1 is True , Statement-2 is True ,Statement-2 is NOT a correct explanation for Statement-1
C. Statement-1 is True , Statement-2 is False
D. Statement-1 is False, Statement-2 is True

Answer

To analyze the given statements regarding significant figures, we will evaluate each statement step by step.

### Step 1: Evaluate Statement 1
- **Statement 1**: The mass of an object is 132 kg. The number of significant figures in this measurement is 3.
- **Analysis**:
- The number 132 has three digits: 1, 3, and 2.
- All non-zero digits are considered significant.
- Therefore, the number of significant figures in 132 kg is indeed 3.

**Conclusion for Statement 1**: True

### Step 2: Evaluate Statement 2
- **Statement 2**: The same mass when expressed in grams as 132000 g has six significant figures.
- **Analysis**:
- The number 132000 has the digits 1, 3, 2, and four zeros.
- In significant figures, trailing zeros in a number without a decimal point are not considered significant.
- Therefore, the zeros in 132000 are not counted as significant figures unless specified (e.g., if written as 132000. or in scientific notation).
- Thus, the number 132000 g has only 3 significant figures (1, 3, and 2).

**Conclusion for Statement 2**: False

### Final Conclusion
- **Statement 1** is true, and **Statement 2** is false. Therefore, the correct option is that Statement 1 is true, and Statement 2 is not true.
