Assertion: Out of three measurements l = 0.7 m; l = 0.70 m and l = 0.700 m, the last one is most accurate.
Reason: In every measurement, only the last significant digit is not accurately known.
Choose any one of the following four responses :
(1) If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.
(2) If both assertion and reason are true but the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
(3) If the assertion is true but the reason is false.
(4) If the assertion and reason both are false.
