MCQ
Let $x=\left[\frac{a^2 b^2}{c}\right]$ be the physical quantity. If the percentage error in the measurement of physical quantities $a, b$ and $c$ is 2,3 and 4 percent respectively. Then percentage error in the measurement of $x$ is
  • A
    $7 \%$
  • $14 \%$
  • C
    $21 \%$
  • D
    $28 \%$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$14 \%$
(b) : Percentage error in $x$ is given by
$
\begin{aligned}
& \frac{\Delta x}{x}=2 \frac{\Delta a}{a}+2 \frac{\Delta b}{b}+\frac{\Delta c}{c} \\
& \frac{\Delta x}{x} \times 100=2 \times 2 \%+2 \times 3 \%+4 \%=14 \%
\end{aligned}
