MCQ
A physical quantity $A$ is dependent on other four physical quantities $p, q, r$ and $s$ as given below $A=\frac{\sqrt{pq}}{r^2s^3} .$ The percentage error of measurement in $p, q, r$ and $s$  $1\%,$ $3\%,\,\, 0.5\%$ and $0.33\%$ respectively, then the maximum percentage error in $A$ is .......... $\%$
  • A
    $2$
  • B
    $0$
  • $4$
  • D
    $3$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$4$
c
$\frac{\Delta \mathrm{A}}{\mathrm{A}}=\frac{1}{2} \frac{\Delta \mathrm{P}}{\mathrm{P}}+\frac{1}{2} \frac{\Delta \mathrm{q}}{\mathrm{q}}+\frac{2 \Delta \mathrm{r}}{\mathrm{r}}+3 \frac{\Delta \mathrm{s}}{\mathrm{s}}$

$=0.5+1.5+1+1=4 \%$
