JEE MainPhysicsUnits and MeasurementsMCQ+4 / −1
A physical quantity is found to depend on quantities by the relation . The percentage error in and are and respectively. Then, the percentage error in is :
- A43%
- B34%
- C66%
- D14%
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: B
- Given relation:
- For multiplication/division with powers, the maximum percentage error is the sum of absolute fractional errors multiplied by the powers:
- Substitute the given percentage errors:
- Error in
- Error in
- Error in
So,
- Calculate:
- Therefore, the percentage error in is
- Option check:
- A: ✗
- B: ✓
- C: ✗
- D: ✗
Hence, the correct option is B.
