u get the significant figures by writing in terms of scientific notation .. ie,
62 X 10 ^3
the significant digits are the number of digits which are not in the power of 10.
so ans is * 2 *

it has 2 significant figures.
if it had been 62000.0 it would be having 6 significant figures
read rules to find no. of  significant figures from NCERT physics books

i bet the answer is 2 for sure but if the decimal is present in the figure i. e. 62000.0 then the answer will definitely change

it's ans is definitely 2
as the zero at the right most place is not significant unless it is followed by any unit
