Correct Answer: Option D
Explanation

 

first work out the expression and then correct the answer to 4 s.f = 241.34..............(A)

(3 x 10-\(^3\))\(^2\)............(B)

= 3\(^2\)x\(^2\)

= \(\frac{1}{10^3}\) x \(\frac{1}{10^3}\)

(Note that x\(^2\) = \(\frac{1}{x^3}\))

= 24.34 x 3\(^2\) x \(\frac{1}{10^6}\)

= \(\frac{2172.06}{10^6}\)

= 0.00217206

= 0.002172(4 s.f)
