Write the number of significant digits in:

$3.005$.

  1. $4$

  2. $2$

  3. $1$

  4. $0$


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Zeroes placed between other digits are always significant.
$\therefore  3.005$ has $4$ significant digits.

Write the number of significant digits in:

$5.16 \times 10^8$.

  1. $3$

  2. $1$

  3. $2$

  4. $9$


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

$5.16\times 10^8$
There are $3$ significant figures. When a number is  written in scientific notation, only significant figures are placed into the numerical portion.


Write the number of significant digits in:

$16.000$.

  1. $2$

  2. $5$

  3. $16$

  4. $1$


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

All zeroes which are both to the right of the decimal point and to the right of all non-zero significant digits are themselves significant.
$\therefore  16.000$ has $5$
significant digits

Write the number of significant digits in $23.4$

  1. $2$

  2. $23.4$

  3. $3$

  4. $1$


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Non-zero digits are always significant.

$\therefore  23.4$ has $3$
significant digits.

Divide $7$  by $11$ and express the result in two significant digits.

  1. $0.64$

  2. $0.583$

  3. $0.54$

  4. $0.67$


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

On dividing 7 by 11, we get 0.6363636363.... .

If we have to express this in two significant digits, then it would be 0.64 as 6 is > 5  and 1 would get added to 3.

Write the number of significant digits in:

$0.07$.

  1. $7$

  2. $1$

  3. $3$

  4. $2$


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Zeroes placed before other digits are not significant.
$\therefore  0.07$
has $1$ significant digit.

Write the number of significant digits in:

$0.0016$.

  1. $2$

  2. $5$

  3. $1$

  4. $4$


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Zeroes placed before other digits are not significant.
$\therefore  0.0016$  has $2$ significant digits.

Write the number of significant digits in:

$805.060$.

  1. $3$

  2. $2$

  3. $5$

  4. $6$


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

All zeroes which  are both to the right of the decimal point and to the right of all non-zero significant digits  are themselves significant.
$\therefore  805.060$ has $6$
significant digits

For rational numbers, $x$ and $y,$ if $x > y,$ then which of the following is always a positive rational number?

  1. $ y - xy$

  2. $ xy-x$

  3. $ y-x$

  4. $ x- y $


Correct Option: D
Explanation:
If $x>y$

$y-xy\rightarrow $ can be both positive and negative.

Example coside $x>1$ & $y>0$

$\left(y-xy\right)<0$

$xy-x\rightarrow $ can be both positive and negative 

$y-x\rightarrow $ always negative

$\boxed {x-y\rightarrow always\ positive\ since\ x>y}$

$0.\overline{5}$ in the form of $\frac{p}{q}$ is :

  1. $\dfrac{9}{5}$

  2. $\dfrac{5}{10}$

  3. $\dfrac{5}{9}$

  4. $\dfrac{10}{5}$


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

$Let\quad x=.555....\ On\quad multiplying\quad by\quad 10\quad on\quad both\quad sides\quad \ 10x=5.555....\ On\quad subtracting\quad both\quad equations\quad \ 9x=5\ x=\dfrac { 5 }{ 9 } \ $

Hence, correct answer is option C.

If $x$ and $y$ are positive real number, then which of the following is correct?

  1. $x > y \Rightarrow -x > -y $

  2. $x > y \Rightarrow -x < -y $

  3. $x > y \Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{x} > \dfrac{1}{y} $

  4. $x > y \Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{x} < \dfrac{-1}{y} $


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

If $x$ and $y$ are positive number and $x>y$, then 

$\Rightarrow -x<-y$ 
Also, $x>y$ $\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{x}<\dfrac{1}{y}$
Hence, B is correct option.

Express $\displaystyle 9\frac{7}{20}$ as a decimal.

  1. $9.05$

  2. $9.53$

  3. $9.26$

  4. $9.35$


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

$9\dfrac{7}{20}= \dfrac{187}{20}=9.35$

Hence the correct answer is option D.

In expressing a length $81.472 \ km$ as nearly as possible with three significant digits, the percent error is

  1. $0.34\%$

  2. $0.034\%$

  3. $0.0034\%$

  4. $0.0038\%$


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

$81.472 km = 81472$ meters $= 81500$ meters with three significant digits.
$\displaystyle \therefore Error\%=\frac{81500-81472}{81472}\times 100=0.034\%$

If $a, b, c$ are distinct $+ve$ real numbers and ${ a }^{ 2 }+{ b }^{ 2 }+{ c }^{ 2 }=1$ then $ab + bc + ca$ is 

  1. less then $1$

  2. equal to $1$

  3. greater then $1$

  4. any real no.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

${a}^{2} + {b}^{2} + {c}^{2} = 1 \quad \left( \text{Given} \right)$


${\left( a +  b + c \right)}^{2} > 0$

${a}^{2} + {b}^{2} + {c}^{2} + 2 \left( ab + bc + ca \right) > 0$

$1 + 2 \left( ab + bc + ca \right) > 0$

$2 \left( ab + bc + ca \right) > -1$

$\Rightarrow ab + bc + ca >-\dfrac 12$

If the decimal o.d25d25d25 ................ is expressible in the form n/27, then d+n must be

  1. 9

  2. 28

  3. 30

  4. 34


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

$x = 0.d25 d25d25 -----$
$x = 0.\overline{d25}$
$1000 x = d25. \overline{d25}$
$999 x = d 25$
$x = \displaystyle \frac{d 25}{999}$
$x = \displaystyle \frac{d25}{37.27}$
take d = 9 then $x = \displaystyle \frac{25}{27}$
$d = 9          n = 25$
$d + n = 34$

Express $ \dfrac {5}{13} $ correct to $3$ significant figures.

  1. $1.26$

  2. $0.385$

  3. $0.00385$

  4. $0.103$


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

$\dfrac {5}{13} = 0.3846$


Rounding off to $3$ places to nearest decimal, we get $0.385$.
So, option $B$ is correct.

A $3$ digit id a $3$ digit number (not starting with zero) which reads the same backwards as forwards. For example $171$. The sum of all even $3$ digit palindromes, is 

  1. $22380$

  2. $25700$

  3. $22000$

  4. $22400$


Correct Option: A

The number of significant digits in the measurement of the side of a square whose computed area is $1.1025$ square inches to the nearest tenthousandth of a square cm is

  1. $2$

  2. $3$

  3. $4$

  4. $5$

  5. $1$


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

(d) is the correct choice.

Which of the following statements is incorrect regarding significant figures?

  1. All the non-zero digits are significant.

  2. All the zeros between two non-zero digits are significant.

  3. Greater the number of significant figures in a measurement, smaller is the percentage error.

  4. The power of 10 is counted while counting the number of significant figures.


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The term significant figures are referring to the number of important digits (0 through 9 inclusive) in the coefficient of some expression in the scientific notation. The number of significant figures in any expression indicate the confidence or precision with which we can state a quantity.

Some rules for significant figures are:

1. All non-zero numbers are significant.

2. Zeros located between non-zero digits are significant.

3. Trailing zeros at the end will be significant only if the number contains a decimal point; otherwise, they are insignificant.

4. Zeros to the left of the first nonzero digit are insignificant.

5. Number in exponents (for example power of 10) is insignificant.

Thus option D is correct. 

which of the following represents the sum of numerator and denominator in the simplified expression of $\left(3.2\bar3 + 4.\bar {75}\right) $?
