The correct answer is rounded off to same number of significant figures as present in the number with least significant figure

In the given case, number with least significant figure is 0.112 (3 significant figures).

Thus, the result will also contain only 3 significant figures.

\mathrm{\frac{0.02858 \times 0.112}{0.5702}}

\mathrm{=0.00561(3\: S.F)}

Hence correct option is 2
