62think like this 600m we have not counted anything beyond a meter. SO the most accurate result there is 1 meter
in the 2nd one, 600mm = .6 meter.
so the answre has to hafve a error of 1 meter.
Which will come to 600m or 601 m.
which one?
1dude..............it wud be 600.6.............
and for significant fig..u need to reject 0.6
so ans si 600
but u hav rounded off to 601 which is wrong
1@akand..........wat is this new rule????????i knew that if we reject digit then we round it off too!!!!! [1]
1nope.....................rounding off is different......
look....in significant digits just imagine here we are using a metre scale for measuring d given distance..........so anyways we cannot measure 601 wid a metre scale so ans is 600
1yes the answer has to be 600m. Query is for Significant Figures only and we have to omit the Decimal Figure.
