    Directions (Q. No. 6 to 10):
    Read the following text and answer the following questions on the basis of the same:
    Capacitor Colour Code:
    Capacitor values as written on small capacitors are sometimes misleading. Letters like p (pico) or n (nano) are used in place of the decimal point to identify its position and the value of the capacitor.
    For   example,   a   capacitor   labelled   as n33 = 0.33nF, 8n2 = 8.2nF, 22n = 47nF and so on.
    Sometimes capacitors are marked with the capital letter K to signify a value of Kilo pico-Farads.
    As for example, a capacitor with the markings of 100K would be \[1000\times 100pF=100Kpf=100\text{ }nF\].
    Sometimes, a three letter code consists of the two value digits and a multiplier. For example, the digits \[471=47\times 10=470pF,332=33\times 100=3300p\].
    To reduce these confusions an International colour coding scheme was developed almost same as that of resistance colour code.
    Band Digit  1 Digit  2 Multiplier
    Colour      
    Black 0 0 \[\times \]1
    Brown 1 1 \[\times \]10
    Red 2 2 \[\times \]100
    Orange 3 3 \[\times \]1000
    Yellow 4 4 \[\times \]10,000
    Green 5 5 \[\times \]1,00,000
    Blue 6 6 \[\times \]10,00,000
    Violet 7 7  
    Grey 8 8 \[\times \]0.01
    White 9 9 \[\times \]0.1
    The value obtained from colour code is in pf.
    What is the value of the capacitor if n27 is written on it?
