Question

Which of the following statement is correct for the scientific notation, \(x\times 10^{y}\) ?

Answer 1

As we know,
Scientific notation is when a number between \(1\) to \(10\) is multiplied by a power of \(10\).

For scientific notation \(x\times 10^{y}\),

\(x\) denotes the exact value and
\(y\) denotes how large the number is in compared to \(1~\text m\).

Hence, option \((\text C)\) is correct.
