To determine which expressions will produce a three significant figure result we need to make the operations of each of them:


\begin{gathered} 101-83.4=17.6 \\ 7.23+12.6=19.83 \\ 121/1.75=69.14285714 \\ 17\cdot1.5=25.5 \end{gathered}

Therefore options A and D will produce a three significant figure result.
