Q61 / 90 · JEE Main 2024 (01 Feb Shift 2) · Physics

Match List - I with List - II.

List - I (Number) List - II (Signficant figure)
(A) 1001 (I) 3
(B) 010.1 (II) 4
(C) 100.100 (III) 5
(D) 0.0010010 (IV) 6

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

  • A
    (A)-(III), (B)-(IV), (C)-(II), (D)-(I)
  • B
    (A)-(IV), (B)-(III), (C)-(I), (D)-(II)
  • Correct answer
    C
    (A)-(II), (B)-(I), (C)-(IV), (D)-(III)
  • D
    (A)-(I), (B)-(II), (C)-(III), (D)-(IV)

Solution

Rules for significant figures:

1. All non-zero numbers are significant

2. Zeros between two non-zero digits are significant

3. Leading zeros are not significant

4. Trailing zeros to the right of the decimal are significant

5. Trailing zeros in a whole number with the decimal shown are significant

6. Trailing zeros in a whole number with no decimal shown are not significant

From above rule, we get

(A)-(II), (B)-(I), (C)-(IV), (D)-(III)

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
