How many significant figures are present in the exact mathematical constant π\pi and the count of '20 bananas'?

Options

Option A is correct

Infinite

Option B

3 and 2 respectively

Option C

Infinite and 2 respectively

Option D

3 and Infinite respectively

Explanation

Exact numbers, such as pure mathematical constants (π\pi) or exact counts of objects (20 bananas), have an infinite number of significant figures because they are exact values and can be represented as having an infinite number of decimal zeros (e.g., 20.0000...20.0000...).
