The significant figures in 1.0024,1.240 and 0.0020 are respectively
Options
- A5,4,2
- B3,3,1
- C5,3,4
- D5,3,2
Correct answer
A. 5,4,2
Step-by-step solution
In 1.0024 , all figures are significant. In 1.240 ,the significant figures are four (zero tells about precision). Zero before a number are not significant, hence 0.0020 has only two significant numbers (2 and 0 after 2).
