The question is not using the terms correctly. A number is rounded to N significant places, N being a variable. So you would round to 2 significant figures, or 4, 5, or whatever was appropriate. Good explanatins and examples are to found from the links below,

If you are asking whether to round up or down, in pre-computer days, it was usual to round down between .0 and .49, and to round up from .5 to .99. With the advent of spreadsheets, it is more dependent on the programming. Some round up, some round down. Some round up half the time and down the other half. Some randomly round up or down.
