    Answer: False

    Explanation: Significant figures are the figure or numbers that display the preciseness. Being precise in the scientific field describes that the measured figures obtained are close to each other.

    Significant are those figures which are used for reporting any measurement precisely and correctly whereas accuracy defines that the obtained figure has a value close to any known value. Thus the statement given in the question is false.
