If x = a -b, then percentage error in x will be - Vidyadip

Question

If $x = a -b,$ then percentage error in $x$ will be

✓

Answer

Maximum absolute error is $\Delta a+\Delta b$

Therefore the percentage error $=\frac{\text { absolute error }}{\text { actual error }} \times 100$

$\therefore$ Percentage error $=\left(\frac{\Delta a}{a-b}+\frac{\Delta b}{a-b}\right) \times 100 \%$
