  • A 1.66 x 10\(^{-4}\)
  • B 1.66 x 10\(^{-5}\)
  • C 1.65 x 10\(^{-5}\)
  • D 1.65 x 10\(^{-4}\)
Correct Answer: Option A
Explanation:
16.54 x 10\(^{-5}\) - 6.76 x 10\(^{-8}\) + 0.23 x 10\(^{-6}\)

⇒ 1.654 x 10\(^{-4}\) - 6.76 x 10\(^{-8}\) + 2.3 x 10\(^{-7}\)

⇒ 1.654 x 10\(^{-4}\) - 0.000676 x 10\(^{-4}\) + 0.0023 x 10\(^{-4}\)

⇒ (1.654 - 0.000676 + 0.0023) x 10\(^{-4}\)

∴ 1.655624 x 10\(^{-4}\) ≃ 1.66 x 10\(^{-4}\)
