Question

A device has a least count of 0.01m if it measures a length less than 100m the minimum and maximum number of significant figure are

a)1 and 2
B)2 and 3
C)1 and 4
D) 0 and 2

Answer 1

C) 1 and 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Least count is .01 m . If one measures any number between 100 and 99 , it will be like 99.25 or 99.37 m . So number of significant figure will be 4 ( maximum )

The least one can measure is .01 so least number of significant figure possible is 1 .
