    The length, breadth and thickness of a block are given by \[l=12\,cm,b=6\,cm\] = 12 cm, b = 6 cm and (= 2.45 cm. The volume of the block according to the idea of significant figures should be :

    A)  \[1\times {{10}^{2}}c{{m}^{3}}\]    

    B)                         \[2\times {{10}^{2}}c{{m}^{3}}\]             

    C)         \[1.763\times {{10}^{2}}c{{m}^{3}}\]     

    D)         none of these

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Using the relation for volume \[V=\]length\[\times \]breadth\[\times \]thickness     \[=12\times 6\times 2.45=176.4\]     \[=1.764\times {{10}^{2}}c{{m}^{3}}\] The minimum number of significant figures is 1 in thickness, hence the volume will contain only one significant figure. Therefore, \[V=2\times {{10}^{2}}\,c{{m}^{3}}\]
