Dear Student,

(i) There are 4 significant figures in 10 00

(ii) There are 3 significant figures in 1 50 x 104

This is because of the following rules:

All non-zero numbers are significant This makes 1
(1â€‹0 00) in (i) and 1,5
(1 50) in (ii) significant
Trailing zeros or the final zero in the decimal portion are
significant This makes two 0 after decimal (10 00)
in (i) and 1 zero after 5 (1 50) in (ii)
significant
Trailing zeros in a whole number with decimal shown are
significant This makes 0 after 1 (10 00) in (i)
significant
For a number in scientific notation, N x 10x, all
digits comprising N are significant by the above rules 10 and x are
not significant This makes 1 50 in (ii) significant and
104 non significant,

Overall, there are 4 significant figues in (i) and 3 significant
figures in (ii)
