QJEEM25Phbd63: JEE Main 2025 Physics - Class 11 JEEM25Phbd63 Solution: For an experimental expression , where all the digits are…

For an experimental expression y=32.3×112527.4y=\frac{32.3 \times 1125}{27.4} , where all the digits are significant. Then to report the value of yy we should write

Multiple Choice Options

  • A y=1326.186y=1326.186
  • B y=1326.2y=1326.2
  • C y=1326.19y=1326.19
  • D y=1330y=1330

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

32.3(3 sig figs),1125(4 sig figs),27.4(3 sig figs)

In multiplication and division, the final answer must be reported with the same number of significant figures as the factor with the fewest significant figures, which here is 3.

First, calculate the unrounded result:

y=32.3×112527.4≈36337.527.4≈1326.186

Expressing 1326.1861326.186 in scientific notation:

1326.186≈1.326186×103

Rounding to 3 significant figures:

The first three significant digits are 1, 3, and 2.

Considering the fourth digit (6) causes the last significant digit to round up.

Thus,

1.326186×103≈1.33×103

In standard decimal form, this is written as:

1330

Hence, the final reported value is:

y=1330
