Vedclass · Answer

(C) To add these numbers,we first express them with the same power of $10$: $3.8 	imes 10^{-6} = 0.38 	imes 10^{-5}$ Now,add the numbers: $0.38 	imes 10^{-5} + 4.2 	imes 10^{-5} = (0.38 + 4.2) 	imes 10^{-5} = 4.58 	imes 10^{-5}$ According to the rules of significant figures for addition,the result should be reported to the same number of decimal places as the measurement with the fewest decimal places. $0.38$ has two decimal places and $4.2$ has one decimal place. Therefore,the result must be rounded to one decimal place. Rounding $4.58$ to one decimal place gives $4.6$. Thus,the final result is $4.6 	imes 10^{-5}$.

Column-$I$	Column-$II$
$(a)$ $0.007\ m^2$	$(p)$ $2$
$(b)$ $2.64 \times 10^{24}\ kg$	$(q)$ $1$
$(c)$ $0.0021\ g\ cm^{-3}$	$(r)$ $4$
$(d)$ $0.0006032\ J$	$(s)$ $3$

The result after adding $3.8 \times 10^{-6}$ and $4.2 \times 10^{-5}$ with due regard to significant figures is:
