MCQ

A physical quantity $Q$ is found to depend on quantities $a, b, c$ by the relation $Q=\frac{a^4 b^3}{c^2}$. The percentage error in $a$, $b$ and $c$ are $3 \%, 4 \%$ and $5 \%$ respectively. Then, the percentage error in $\mathrm{Q}$ is :

A
$66 \%$
B
$43 \%$
✓
$34 \%$
D
$14 \%$

✓

Answer

Correct option: C.

$34 \%$

c
$ \mathrm{Q}=\frac{\mathrm{a}^4 \mathrm{~b}^3}{\mathrm{c}^2} $

$ \frac{\Delta \mathrm{Q}}{\mathrm{Q}}=4 \frac{\Delta \mathrm{a}}{\mathrm{a}}+3 \frac{\Delta \mathrm{b}}{\mathrm{b}}+2 \frac{\Delta \mathrm{c}}{\mathrm{c}} $

$ \frac{\Delta \mathrm{Q}}{\mathrm{Q}} \times 100=4\left(\frac{\Delta \mathrm{a}}{\mathrm{a}} \times 100\right)+3\left(\frac{\Delta \mathrm{b}}{\mathrm{b}} \times 100\right)+2\left(\frac{\Delta \mathrm{c}}{\mathrm{c}} \times 100\right) $

$ \% \text { error in } \mathrm{Q}=4 \times 3 \%+3 \times 4 \%+2 \times 5 \% $

$=12 \%+12 \%+10 \% $

$=34 \%$
