    Question

    The number of significant figures in 1.73 seconds is _____

    A.

    Two

    B.

    Four

    C.

    Three

    D.

    One

    Correct option is C

    The Correct Answer is: (c) Three
    Explanation:
    Significant figures represent the digits in a number that carry meaning contributing to its precision. This includes all non-zero digits, any zeros
    between significant digits, and trailing zeros in the decimal part.
    In the number 1.73, all digits — 1, 7, and 3 — are non-zero, and hence all are significant. Therefore, 1.73 has 3 significant figures.
    Information Booster:
    • The more significant figures, the more accurate the measurement is considered.
    1.00 has three significant figures, while 100 has only one, unless specified (e.g., 1.00 × 10²).
    Trailing zeros without a decimal point are not significant.
    • Used widely in scientific measurements, engineering, and data analysis.
