Question

Two samples were weighed using different balance and the following data were obtained.
Sample #1=3.719 grams
Sample #2=0.42 gram
The total mass of the samples should be reported as :
  1. 4 grams
  2. 4.139 grams
  3. 4.140 grams
  4. 4.14 grams
  5. 4.1 grams

A
4.139 grams
B
4 grams
C
4.1 grams
D
4.14 grams
E
4.140 grams
Solution
Verified by Toppr

The correct option is D 4.14 grams
After rounding off to 2 significant digits, weight of sample 1 can be reported as 3.72 grams. Therefore, total mass =(3.72+0.42)=4.14 grams.
