The number of significant figures in 3.00 × 10⁸ is
A. 1
B. 2
C. 8
D. 3
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Scientific notation: 3.00 has three significant figures (3,0,0). Exponent part not counted. It's a clear way to show precision. 3×10⁸ has 1, 3.0×10⁸ has 2.

Question #2
If a stone dropped from the top of a tower reaches the ground in 4 seconds, what is the approximate height of the tower? (Take g = 10 m/s²)
A. 80 m
B. 60 m
C. 160 m
D. 40 m

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Using the second equation of motion for free fall: h = ut + ½gt². Since it is dropped, initial velocity (u) = 0. Time (t) = 4s, g = 10 m/s². The height h = 0 + ½(10)(4)² = 5 × 16 = 80 meters.

Question #3
Doppler effect for sound depends on:
A. Relative motion between source and observer
B. Observer motion only
C. Medium motion only
D. Source motion only

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Apparent frequency change depends on relative velocity between source and observer with respect to medium. Both motions contribute: f' = f(v±v_o)/(v∓v_s). Memory tip: 'Approaching ⇒ higher pitch; receding ⇒ lower pitch'. Conceptual question testing Doppler effect fundamentals, frequently examined in competitive exams.
