Which of the following has two significant figures?

  1. $0.070$

  2. $0.70$

  3. $7.0$

  4. $70$


Correct Option: A,B,C
Explanation:


Leading Zeroes are not significant because these zeroes only serve as space holder. They are there to put decimal point in correct location. Trailing zeroes in a number containing decimal point are significant.

Leading zeroes in whole number are never significant so 70 has only 1 significant figure.

So, option A, B and C are correct.
