Which of the following have same number of significant figures? (A) 0 . 00253 (B) 1 . 0003 (C) 15 . 0 (D) 163 Choose the correct answer from the options given below
Options
- AA, B and C only
- BC and D only
- CB and C only
- DA, C and D only
Correct answer
D. A, C and D only
Step-by-step solution
All nonzero digits are significant. All zeros that are found between nonzero digits are significant. Leading zeros (to the left of the first nonzero digit) are not significant. Trailing zeros for a whole number that ends with a decimal point are significant.The number of significant figures of the given numbers are as follows: Numbers No. of significant figures (A) 0 . 00253 3 (B) 1 . 0003 5 (C) 15 . 0 3 (D) 163 3 ∴   (A), (C) and (D) have the same number of significant figures.
