The population of a village is 5846. Express this number to three significant figures

When expressing a number to three significant figures, we only consider the first three digits of the number and round it up or down depending on the value of the fourth digit. In this case, the number is already given as 5846. Since the fourth digit is 6, which is greater than or equal to 5, we round up the last significant digit (the third digit) by adding 1 to it. Therefore, the answer rounded to three significant figures is 5850. So the correct option is: 5850.
