Question

Consider the statements regarding rounding numbers:

Statement I: It makes the number simpler to use.
Statement II: It retains the size of the number.
Statement III: Results are less accurate.

• A. All the statements are correct.
• B. One or more statements are wrong.

Answer 1

The correct option is A All the statements are correct.

All the given statements are correct.

Let's take an example and understand the situation.

2798 is rounded off to 3000.

Here, we observe that 3000 is more straightforward to use than 2798.

Also, the size of 2798 and 3000 are approximately the same.

However, the resulting number, i.e., 3000 is less accurate than the original number 2798.
