Answer 2

The correct answer to the question is 1 i.e the number of significant figure in 0.005 is 1.

EXPLANATION:B

Before solving the question, first we have to understand the rules of significant figures which are mentioned as below-

[1] All the non zero digits present in a number are significant.

[2] The zeroes in between two non zero digits are significant.

[3] If the number is a whole number and zeroes are coming after the non zero digit, then these zeroes are not significant.

[4] The zeroes which come after the decimal point and right to any non zero digit are also significant.

As per the question, we have 0.005.

The zeroes present in this number are not significant. It is because the zeroes are left to the non zero digit, and these are not between any non zero digits.

The only significant digit is 5.

Hence, the number of significant figure present in 0.005 is one .
