Explanation:
B All the non digits are significant. Power of 10 is irrelevant for the determination of significant figures. Hence, \(4.8000 \times 10^{4}\) has five significant figures.
Also, all the zeros between two non-zero digits are significant. Hence, 48000.50 has 7 significant figures.
Explanation-No. of significant figures in \(4.8000 \times 10^{4}\)
\(=(4,8,0,0,0)\) [ 5 significant figures]
No. of significant figures in 48000.50 \(=(4,8,0,0,0,5,0)\) [7 significant figures]
