A physical quantity `Q` is calculated according to the expression
`Q=(A^(3)B^(3))/(CsqrtD)`
If percentage errors in `A, B, C, D` are 2%, 1%, 3% and 4% respectively. What is the percentage error in `Q`?

A

`pm8%`

B

`pm10%`

C

`pm14%`

D

`pm12%`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

`Q=(A^(3)B^(3))/(CsqrtD)`
`(DeltaQ)/(Q)=3((DeltaA)/A)+3((DeltaB)/(B))+((DeltaC)/(C))+(1)/(2)3((DeltaD)/(D))` ltBRgt Given that, `(DeltaA)/(A)xx100=2,(DeltaB)/(B)xx100=1`
`(DeltaC)/(C)xx100=3,(DeltaD)/(D)xx100=4`
`:. (DeltaQ)/(Q)xx100=(3xx2)+(3xx1)+(3)+(1)/(2)xx(4)=pm14%`
