Q.

In an experiment, the percentage of error occurred in the measurement of physical quantities A, B, C and D are 1%, 2%, 3% and 4%, respectively. The maximum percentage of error in the measurement X, where X=A2B1/2C1/3D3 , will be                             [2019]

 

1 10%  
2 (313)%  
3 16%  
4 -10%  

Ans.

(3)

 X=A2B1/2C1/3D3

Maximum percentage error in X

(dXX)×100=(2dAA+12dBB+13dCC+3dDD)×100

=2×1+12×2+13×3+3×4=16%
