1. \(0.125 \%\)
2. \(2.43\%\)
3. \(4.12\%\)
4. \(2.14\%\)
The number of significant figures in \(0.0006032\) m2 is:
1. | \(4 \) | 2. | \(5\) |
3. | \(7\) | 4. | \(3\) |

1. | \( 663.821 \) | 2. | \( 664 \) |
3. | \( 663.8 \) | 4. | \(663.82\) |
The mass and volume of a body are \(4.237~\text{grams}\) and \(2.5~\text{cm}^3\), respectively. The density of the material of the body in correct significant figures will be:
1. \(1.6048~\text{grams cm}^{-3}\)
2. \(1.69~\text{grams cm}^{-3}\)
3. \(1.7~\text{grams cm}^{-3}\)
4. \(1.695~\text{grams cm}^{-3}\)
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 \(2.74\) |
The length and breadth of a rectangular sheet are \(16.2\) cm and \(10.1\) cm, respectively. The area of the sheet in appropriate significant figures and error would be, respectively,
1. | \(164\pm3~\text{cm}^2\) | 2. | \(163.62\pm2.6~\text{cm}^2\) |
3. | \(163.6\pm2.6~\text{cm}^2\) | 4. | \(163.62\pm3~\text{cm}^2\) |
The mean length of an object is \(5~\text{cm}\). Which of the following measurements is the most accurate?
1. | \(4.9~\text{cm}\) | 2. | \(4.805~\text{cm}\) |
3. | \(5.25~\text{cm}\) | 4. | \(5.4~\text{cm}\) |
On the basis of dimensions, decide which of the following relations for the displacement of a particle undergoing simple harmonic motion is/are not correct.
(a) | \(y = a\sin \left(2\pi t / T\right)\) |
(b) | \(y = a\sin(vt)\) |
(c) | \(y = \left({\dfrac a T}\right) \sin \left({\dfrac t a}\right)\) |
(d) | \(y = a \sqrt 2 \left(\sin \left({\dfrac {2 \pi t} T}\right) - \cos \left({\dfrac {2 \pi t} T}\right)\right)\) |
(Symbols have their usual meanings.)
Choose the correct option:
1. | (a), (c) |
2. | (a), (b) |
3. | (b), (c) |
4. | (a), (d) |
If \(x=10.0\pm0.1\) and \(y=10\pm0.1\), then \(2x-2y\) with consideration of significant figures is equal to:
