The number of significant figures in 3.00 × 10⁸ is MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The number of significant figures in 3.00 × 10⁸ is
A. 1
B. 3
C. 8
D. 2
Answer: Option B
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 #1
A man pushes a wall but fails to move it. He does
A. Zero work
B. Negative work
C. Positive work
D. Maximum work

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Work = force × displacement in direction of force. Displacement zero, so work zero. Physiology work is done internally, but physics work zero.

Question #2
The position-time graph of a particle is a parabola opening upwards. This indicates that the particle has:
A. Constant velocity
B. Increasing acceleration
C. Constant acceleration
D. Decreasing acceleration

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Position-time graph as parabola: x = x₀ + ut + ½at². This quadratic form indicates constant acceleration 'a'. If acceleration were changing, the graph would be cubic or higher order. Constant velocity would produce a straight line (linear graph). Upward opening parabola implies positive acceleration. Graph interpretation skill is essential: slope of x-t graph = velocity; curvature indicates acceleration. Memory tip: Parabolic x-t graph ⇔ constant acceleration; linear x-t graph ⇔ constant velocity. Competitive exams frequently test graph-concept correlations.

Question #3
The waves used in radar are
A. Microwaves
B. Sound waves
C. Ultrasound
D. Radio waves

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
RADAR (Radio Detection and Ranging) uses microwaves, a type of radio wave but usually specific microwave band. Often answer is microwaves. But radio waves also correct. I'll specify microwave as typical answer. Could be radio. Better: microwave. Many exams say microwaves. I'll stick with B.
