Answer is 2

Belive in the Best, Have a goal for your Best, Never be satisfied with less than your Best, And in the long run things will turn out for the Best. Always add up the Best.

2 is the correct answer
 
the reason is that no unit is given
if it was something like 62000 cm or m or N etc.  then the answer would be five
 
since in the given question no units are given , only the number is given hence it will have 2 significant figures.

feel my logic............
significant figure is defined for observing the degree of uncertainty.!!!!!!!!
62000 can have aNY NO. OF SIGNIFICANT FIGURES AS IT CAN BE WRITTEN AS 6.2 * 104., 6.20 * 103, ETC......(accordingly SF is not clear)
THEREFORE SIGNIFICANT FIGURES ARE not defined for pure numbers.
 
 
 
RATE if convinced.
