Q.

A quantity Q is formulated as X2Y+32Z25·X,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          [2025]

1 0.1  
2 0.8  
3 0.7  
4 0.6  

Ans.

(3)

Fractional error =2XX+32YY+25ZZ

                                      =2(0.1)+32(0.2)+25(0.5)

                                       = 0.2 + 0.3 + 0.2 = 0.7
