i)  $8.4 \ cm$ has two significant figures

ii)  $173.5 \ m$ has four significant figures

iii)  $405 \ g$ has three significant figures

iv)  $4.56 \ m$ has three significant figures

v)  $6.005 \ kg$ has four significant figures

vi)  $0.035 \ km$ has two significant figures

vii)  $0.00123 \ l$ has six significant figures

viii)  $71.040 \ mg$ has five significant figures

xi)  $10.010100 \ g$ has eight significant figures

x)  $20.00 \ km$ has four significant figures

xi)  $4.500 \ ml$ has four significant figures

xii)  $101.101 \ cm$ has six significant figures

$\\$

Question 2: Round off each of the following measurements correct to four significant figures:

i) $67.6519 \ g$     ii) $5.30854 \ kg$     iii) $22.211 \ km$

iv) $70.001 \ cm$     v) $0.0013795 \ m$     vi) $0.0024060 \ l$

i) $67.6519 \ g$

The measurement $67.6519 \ g$ has $6$ significant figures.

To round it off to $4$ significant figures, we require rounding it off to $2$ places after the decimal.

Therefore $67.6519 \ g = 67.65 \ kg$ rounded off to $4$ significant figures.

ii) $5.30854 \ kg$

The measurement $5.30854 \ kg$ has $6$ significant figures.

To round it off to $4$ significant figures, we require rounding it off to $3$ places after the decimal.

Therefore $5.30854 \ kg = 5.309 \ kg$ rounded off to $4$ significant figures.

iii) $22.211 \ km$

The measurement $22.211 \ km$ has $5$ significant figures.

To round it off to $4$ significant figures, we require rounding it off to $2$ places after the decimal.

Therefore $22.211 \ km = 22.21 \ km$ rounded off to $4$ significant figures.

iv) $70.001 \ cm$

The measurement $70.001 \ cm$ has $5$ significant figures.

To round it off to $4$ significant figures, we require rounding it off to $2$ places after the decimal.

Therefore $70.001 \ cm = 70.00 \ km$ rounded off to $4$ significant figures.

v) $0.0013795 \ m$

The measurement $0.0013795 \ m$ has $7$ significant figures.

To round it off to $4$ significant figures, we require rounding it off to $4$ places after the decimal.

Therefore $0.0013795 \ m = 0.001380 km$ rounded off to $4$ significant figures.

vi) $0.0024060 \ l$

The measurement $0.0024060 \ l$ has $7$ significant figures.

To round it off to $4$ significant figures, we require rounding it off to $4$ places after the decimal.

Therefore $0.0024060 l = 0.002406 \ l$ rounded off to $4$ significant figures.

Question 3: Round off:

i) $17.354 \ g$ correct to three significant figures.

ii) $18.303 \ mm$ correct to four significant figures.

iii) $5.0811 \ kg$ correct to two significant figures.

iv) $22.0005 \ g$ correct to three significant figures.

v) $0.008507 \ g$ correct to one significant figure.

vi) $0.00195 \ mg$ correct to two significant figures.

i) $17.354 \ g$ correct to three significant figures  $= 17.4 \ g$

ii) $18.303 \ mm$ correct to four significant figures  $= 18.30 \ mm$

iii) $5.0811 \ kg$ correct to two significant figures  $= 5.1 \ kg$

iv) $22.0005 \ g$ correct to three significant figures  $= 22.0 \ g$

v) $0.008507 \ g$ correct to one significant figure  $= 0.009 \ g$

vi) $0.00195 \ mg$ correct to two significant figures  $= 0.002 \ g$

$\\$

Question 4: Round off:

i) $Rs. \ 69.51$ to the nearest rupee     ii) $18.0555 \ kg$ to the nearest gram

iii) $Rs. \ 4059.995$ to the nearest paisa     iv) $0.00949 m$ to the nearest cm

i) $Rs. \ 69.51$ to the nearest rupee  $= 70 \ Rs$
ii) $18.0555 \ kg$ to the nearest gram  $= 18006 \ g$
iii) $Rs. \ 4059.995$ to the nearest paisa  $= 406000 \ paisa$
iv) $0.00949 m$ to the nearest cm  $= 1 \ cm$
