Units and Measurements question

2024 · 29 Jan · Shift 2 · Q63

JEE MainPhysicsUnits and MeasurementsMCQ+4 / −1
A physical quantity QQQ is found to depend on quantities a,b,ca, b, ca,b,c by the relation Q=a4b3c2Q=\frac{a^4 b^3}{c^2}Q=c2a4b3​. The percentage error in a,ba, ba,b and ccc are 3%,4%3 \%, 4 \%3%,4% and 5%5 \%5% respectively. Then, the percentage error in QQQ is :
  1. A
    43%
  2. B
    34%
  3. C
    66%
  4. D
    14%

Correct answer: B

  1. Given relation:

Q=a4b3c2Q=\frac{a^4 b^3}{c^2}Q=c2a4b3​

  1. For multiplication/division with powers, the maximum percentage error is the sum of absolute fractional errors multiplied by the powers:

ΔQQ×100=4(Δaa×100)+3(Δbb×100)+2(Δcc×100)\frac{\Delta Q}{Q}\times 100 = 4\left(\frac{\Delta a}{a}\times 100\right)+3\left(\frac{\Delta b}{b}\times 100\right)+2\left(\frac{\Delta c}{c}\times 100\right)QΔQ​×100=4(aΔa​×100)+3(bΔb​×100)+2(cΔc​×100)

  1. Substitute the given percentage errors:
  • Error in a=3%a = 3\%a=3%
  • Error in b=4%b = 4\%b=4%
  • Error in c=5%c = 5\%c=5%

So,

% error in Q=4(3)+3(4)+2(5)\%\text{ error in }Q = 4(3)+3(4)+2(5)% error in Q=4(3)+3(4)+2(5)

  1. Calculate:

=12+12+10=34%=12+12+10=34\%=12+12+10=34%

  1. Therefore, the percentage error in QQQ is

34%\boxed{34\%}34%​

  1. Option check:
  • A: 43%43\%43% ✗
  • B: 34%34\%34% ✓
  • C: 66%66\%66% ✗
  • D: 14%14\%14% ✗

Hence, the correct option is B.
