The density of a cube is measured by measuring its mass and length of its sides. If the maximum error in the measurement of mass and length are 4% and 3% respectively, the maximum error in the measurement of density will be

A

0.07

B

0.09

C

0.12

D

0.13

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
`rho = m/V = m/l^3 = ml^-3`
`:.` Maximum `%` error in `rho =` (`%`error in `m`) `+3`(`%` error in `l`).
