The number of significant figures in the numbers \(4.8000 \times 10^{4}\) and \(48000.50\) are respectively
- A 5 and 6
- B 5 and 7
- C 2 and 7
- D 2 and 6
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) 5 and 7
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The number of significant figures in \(4.8000 \times 10^{4}\) is 5 (zeros on right after decimal are counted while zeros in powers of 10 are not counted).
The number of significant figures in \(48000.50\) is 7 (all the zeros between two non-zero digits are significant).
The number of significant figures in \(48000.50\) is 7 (all the zeros between two non-zero digits are significant).
