MCQ
Assertion (A): In 285cm there are 3 significant figures.
Reason (R): Zero preceding to first non-zero digit are not significant.
  • A
    Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
  • Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
  • C
    A is true but R is false.
  • D
    A is false but R is true.

Answer

Correct option: B.
Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
(b) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A .
Explanation: All non-zero digits are significant. For example, in 285 cm , there are three significant figures and in 0.25 mL , there are two significant figures.
