Question
What do you mean by significant figures?

Answer

Significant figures are meaningful digits which are known with certainty including the last digit whose value is uncertain.
For example,
In 11.2546g, there is 6 significant figures but here 11.254 are certain and 6 is uncertain and the uncertainty would be ±1 in the last digit.
Hence last uncertain digit is also included in Significant figures.
