Question #1
The number of significant figures in 0.02040 is
A. 3
B. 4
C. 2
D. 5

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Leading zeros not significant. '2040' – trailing zero after decimal is significant. So digits 2,0,4,0 are significant = 4. Rule: zeros between non-zero and trailing zeros after decimal count.

Linear expansion coefficient α = 2×10⁻⁵/°C. Length increase for 1 m rod heated 50°C:
A. 0.1 mm
B. 0.01 mm
C. 10 mm
D. 1 mm

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
ΔL = L₀αΔT = 1×2×10⁻⁵×50 = 100×10⁻⁵ = 10⁻³ m = 1 mm. Direct expansion formula application. Memory tip: 'ΔL = LαΔT; convert result to required units'. Tests thermal expansion calculation with unit conversion, frequently appearing in competitive exams.

Question #3
A piece of ice floats in a glass of water filled to brim. When ice melts, water level
A. Increases
B. First decreases then increases
C. Decreases
D. Remains same

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Ice displaces water equal to its weight. When melted, it occupies exactly that volume. So level unchanged. Classic question.
