Q.
In the final answer of the expression $\frac{(29.2 - 20.2)(1.79 \times 10^{5})}{1.37}\$, the number of significant figures is
A) 1
B) 2
C) 3
D) 4
Explanation
(b)
$\frac{(29.2 - 20.2)(1.79 \times 10^{5})}{1.37} = \frac{9.0 \times 1.79 \times 10^{5}}{1.37}$
Since, there are two SF in 9. 0, the answer must also have two significant figures.
