Time periods of oscillation of the same simple pendulum measured using four different measuring clocks were recorded as $4.62 \mathrm{~s}, 4.632 \mathrm{~s}, 4.6 \mathrm{~s}$ and $4.64 \mathrm{~s}$. The arithmetic mean of these readings in correct significant figure is :
  1. $5 \mathrm{~s}$
  2. $4.623 \mathrm{~s}$
  3. $4.6 \mathrm{~s}$
  4. $4.62 \mathrm{~s}$

Solution

Sum of number by considering significant digi $\text {sum }=4.6+4.6+4.6+4.6=18.4$ Arithmetic Mean $=\frac{\text { sum }}{4}=\frac{18.4}{4}=4.6$
