उत्तर
The sum of the numbers 436.32, 227.2 and 0.301 in appropriate significant figures is 663.8.
Explanation:
The sum of the numbers can be calculated as 663.821 arithmetically. The number with least decimal places is 227.2 is correct to only one decimal place. The final result should therefore be rounded off to one decimal place i.e., 663.8.

Precise measurements of physical quantities are a need of science. For example, to ascertain the speed of an aircraft, one must have an accurate method to find its positions at closely separated instants of time. This was the actual motivation behind the discovery of radar in World War II. Think of different examples in modern science where precise measurements of length, time, mass etc. are needed. Also, wherever you can, give a quantitative idea of the precision needed.
A LASER is a source of very intense, monochromatic, and unidirectional beam of light. These properties of a laser light can be exploited to measure long distances. The distance of the Moon from the Earth has been already determined very precisely using a laser as a source of light. A laser light beamed at the Moon takes 2.56 s to return after reflection at the Moon’s surface. How much is the radius of the lunar orbit around the Earth?
A SONAR (sound navigation and ranging) uses ultrasonic waves to detect and locate objects under water.

What is the distance of the enemy submarine? (Speed of sound in water = 1450 m s–1).
