according to problem a 3=6 a 2 ⇒ a=6

The number of significant figures in all of the

565 (d) 3
∴ V =a =216 units
given numbers is 4.
In mathematical operation, involving addition
574 (b)

the result would be correct up to minimum

number of decimal places in any of the

Given, L=2.3331 cm and B=2.10 cm.
1 1 0 −1 0
∴ [ P ]= = =[ M L T ]
[f ] [ L ]

Dimension of αt =[ M L T ] ∴ [ α ]=[T ]

since, can be rounded off less than 5, the
preceding digit is unaffiliated.
Again [ ] =[L] so [ v 0 ]=[ L T ]
