MCQ
A quantity Q is formulated as $\mathrm{X}^{-2} \mathrm{Y}^{+\frac{3}{2}} \mathrm{Z}^{-\frac{2}{5}} \cdot \mathrm{X}, \mathrm{Y}$ and Z are independent parameters which have fractional errors of 0.1, 0.2 and 0.5 , respectively in measurement. The maximum fractional error of $Q$ is
  • A
    0.1
  • B
    0.8
  • 0.7
  • D
    0.6

Answer

Correct option: C.
0.7
(C) 0.7
Fractional error $=2 \frac{\Delta \mathrm{X}}{\mathrm{X}}+\frac{3}{2} \frac{\Delta \mathrm{Y}}{\mathrm{Y}}+\frac{2}{5} \frac{\Delta \mathrm{Z}}{\mathrm{Z}}$
$=2(0.1)+\frac{3}{2}(0.2)+\frac{2}{5}(0.5)$
$=0.2+0.3+0.2=0.7$
