    Question

    Of the following which is the most precisely reported value of a speed measurement?

    A.

    125 km/s

    B.

    12.5×10 km/s

    C.

    125.00 km/s

    D.

    1.250×10² km/s

    Correct option is C

    Solution:
    The precision of a measurement depends on the number of significant figures (not just the number of digits or format).
    The more significant figures, the more precise the measurement.

    Step-by-step Analysis of Options:
    Option A: 125 km/s → 3 significant figures

    Option B: 12.5×10 km/s = 125 km/s → also 3 significant figures

    Option C: 125.00 km/s → 5 significant figures

    Option D: 1.250×10² km/s = 125.0 km/s → 4 significant figures

    Conclusion:
    The value with the most significant figures (and thus the most precision) is:

    125.00 km/s

    Final Answer:
    S. Ans. (C) 125.00 km/s
