Answer:

27000

Explanation:

We want to round 27346 to 2 significant figures.

Now, the number already has 5 significant figures, so to reduce it to 2 sig figures, we will have to reduce the 3 digits from the right to zero so that we can have just 2 significant figures by approximating.

Thus, 3 is less than 5 and so 7 cannot increase. Thus, we will have 27000 as the number when reduced to 2 significant figures.
