The length of a rod as measured in an experiment is 2.56 m, 2.51 m, 2.49 m, 2.58 m, 2.48 m and 2.55 m respectively. The average length is
A. 2.528 m
B. 2.5283 m
C. m
D. 2.53 m
Discuss

Correct Option
Explanation
Sum = 15.17; average = 15.17/6 = 2.528333... which rounded as a direct arithmetic mean gives 2.5283 m.

10. The number of significant figures in 0.005005 are:
A. 4
B. 3
C. 7
D. 2
Discuss
Save
Correct Option
Explanation
Leading zeros are not significant; the digits 5,0,0,5 are significant, giving 4 significant figures.
23
The length of a side of a cube is 4.4 cm. The volume of the cube according to idea of significant figures is
A. 85.184 cm³
B. 85.18 cm³
C. 85 cm³
D. 85.2 cm³
Discuss
Save
Correct Option
Explanation
Side 4.4 has two significant figures, so volume (4.4³ ≈ 85.184) should be reported to two significant figures as 85 cm³.
24
Significant figures in 2.00 × 10^0 are:
A. One
B. Two
C. Three
D. Four
Discuss
Save
Correct Option
Explanation
The number 2.00 has three significant figures due to the two trailing zeros after the decimal.
25
A calculator with eight figure capability is used to compute the area of desk top with dimensions: length L = 2.49 m, width W = 1.07 m and finds area A = L × W = 2.664... m². The area of the desk top with regard to significant figures is
A. 2.66 m²
B. 2.67 m²
C. 2.664 m²
D. 2.6843 m²
Discuss
Save
Correct Option
Explanation
Both factors have 3 significant figures, so result should have 3 sig figs: 2.49×1.07 ≈ 2.6643 → 2.66 m².
26
Given: n = 3.14. The value of n2 with due regard for significant figures is
A. 9.85960
B. 9.8596
C. 9.86
D. 9.859
Discuss
Save
Correct Option
Explanation
3.14 has three significant figures, so n^2 rounded to three significant figures is 9.86.
27
In which of the following numbers are all zeros significant?
A. 20.000
B. 0.00004
C. 0.800
D. 0.0060
Discuss
Save
Correct Option
Explanation
In 20.000 all zeros are significant because the number has a decimal and trailing zeros indicate measured precision.
28
Multiplying 3.233, 2.105 and 1.05, rounded off answer is recorded as:
A. 714.573 × 10^-2
B. 7146 × 10^-3
C. 7.15
D. 7.146
Discuss
Save
Correct Option
Explanation
The OCR marks option A; using significant-figure rules, the product is rounded to three significant figures giving 7.15.
29
Mass of air at NTP in a room about 100 cubic meter is approximately
A. 13.0 gm
B. 1.30 gm
C. 130 kg
D. 1.30 kg
Discuss
Save
Correct Option
Explanation
Air density ≈1.29 kg/m^3, so mass in 100 m^3 ≈129 kg ≈130 kg, making option C correct.
30
With the rise in temperature, the angle of contact is
A. decreases
B. Increases
C. remains constant
D. sometimes increases and sometimes decreases
Discuss
Save
Correct Option
Explanation
Increasing temperature generally reduces surface tension, which tends to decrease the contact angle for typical liquid–solid pairs.
