Answer

a. 205,000 $\Omega$ b. 205,000 $\Omega$ and 55,000 $\Omega$

Work Step by Step

a. Since the measurement 205,000 $\Omega$ has 3 significant digits (the most), then it is the most accurate. b. Since the precision of the measurements 205,000 $\Omega$ and 55,000 $\Omega$ is 1000, then they are the most precise measurements. The other values have a larger precision of 10,000.
