If the value of resistance is 10.845 Ω and the value of current is 3.23 A, the potential difference is 35.02935 V. The value of potential difference in terms of significant figures would be
Radius '4 cm' has one significant figure, so volume (≈268.08 cm³) must be given to 1 significant figure → 3×10² cm³.

A train goes from station A to station D via stations B and C. The measured distances between various sections are: A to B = 648 km, B to C = 64.8 km, C to D = 6.48 km. Keeping significant figures in mind, the distance covered by the train is
Using the side 7.203 m and rounding results to appropriate significant figures yields surface area ≈ 311.3 m² and volume ≈ 373.7 m³, matching option A.
