Correct answer: B, D, A
-
Given relation
Rearranging for :
So, for percentage error:
-
Error in measurement of
Given:
Hence percentage error in is
Therefore, Option A is correct.
-
Mean value of time period
The five readings are:
Mean:
-
Error in
Mean absolute error:
Least count error of watch = s.
We take the total error in as the larger/measured observational error, i.e. about s.
Thus percentage error in :
This is very close to , which is obtained if we round mean time as s and error as s:
Therefore, Option B is correct and Option C is incorrect.
-
Error in
Given:
So,
Maximum absolute error in :
Hence percentage error:
-
Error in
Approximately,
Therefore, Option D is correct.
Final evaluation of options
- A: True
- B: True
- C: False
- D: True
So the correct options are:
-
Comparison with stored answer
Stored correct answer: B, D, A
Our derived answer: A, B, D
These are the same set of options.
