Option (C)
In the decimal portion, only trailing or final zeros are significant. This is in accordance with the rules of significant figures.
The given number, 0.200 has 3 significant figures whereas the number, 200 has only one significant figure because zeros present on the right side or at the end of the decimal number are significant and it is provided that they are present on the right side of the decimal point.
Also, zeros are not significant in numbers without decimals. Thus, X is true but R is false.
