The thickness of a pencil measured by using a screw gauge (least count \(0.001\) cm) comes out to be \(0.802\) cm. The percentage error in the measurement is:
1. \(0.125 \%\)
2. \(2.43\%\)
3. \(4.12\%\)
4. \(2.14\%\)
If \(x=10.0\pm0.1\) and \(y=10\pm0.1\), then \(2x-2y\) with consideration of significant figures is equal to:
1. zero
2. \(0.0\pm0.1\)
3. \(0.0\pm0.2\)
4. \(0.0\pm0.4\)

A screw gauge has the least count of \(0.01~\text{mm}\) and there are \(50\) divisions in its circular scale. The pitch of the screw gauge is:
| 1. | \(0.25~\text{mm}\) | 2. | \(0.5~\text{mm}\) |
| 3. | \(1.0~\text{mm}\) | 4. | \(0.01~\text{mm}\) |
If \({x}=\dfrac{{a} \sin \theta+{b} \cos \theta}{{a}+{b}},\) then:
| 1. | the dimensions of \(x\) and \(a\) must be the same |
| 2. | the dimensions of \(a\) and \(b\) are not the same |
| 3. | \(x\) is dimensionless |
| 4. | none of the above |
A thin wire has a length of \(21.7~\text{cm}\) and a radius of \(0.46~\text{mm}\). The volume of the wire to correct significant figures is:
| 1. | \( 0.15~ \text{cm}^3 \) | 2. | \( 0.1443~ \text{cm}^3 \) |
| 3. | \( 0.14~ \text{cm}^3 \) | 4. | \( 0.144 ~\text{cm}^3\) |
The sum of the numbers \(436.32,227.2,\) and \(0.301\) in the appropriate significant figures is:
| 1. | \( 663.821 \) | 2. | \( 664 \) |
| 3. | \( 663.8 \) | 4. | \(663.82\) |
The mass and volume of a body are \(4.237~\text{g }\) and \(2.5~\text{cm}^3,\) respectively. The density of the material of the body in correct significant figures will be:
1. \(1.6048~\text{g cm}^{-3}\)
2. \(1.69~\text{g cm}^{-3}\)
3. \(1.7~\text{g cm}^{-3}\)
4. \(1.695~\text{g cm}^{-3}\)
The numbers \(2.745\) and \(2.735\) on rounding off to \(3\) significant figures will give respectively,
| 1. | \(2.75\) and \(2.74\) | 2. | \(2.74\) and \(2.73\) |
| 3. | \(2.75\) and \(2.73\) | 4. | \(2.74\) and \(2.74\) |
