(D is wrong why and which is correct)

a) 0.468

b) 0.288

c) 0.234

D)2.14

E) 3.47

Explanation / Answer

Ans 1

= (1.47x10^3 - 6.23x10^2) x (2.12x10^4) / (1.73)

= 10379421.965

= 1.0379421965 x 10^7

The more the significant figures, the better the answer is correct

Between C and e options e has more significant figures than c

So the correct answer would be e ( not C)

If e does not exist in the options then C would be the correct answer
