If the absoulte errors in two physical quantites `A` and `B` are `a` and `b` respectively, then the absoulte error in the value of `A-B` is

A

`a-b`

B

`b-a`

C

`a +- b`

D

`a+b`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
If `Z = A-B, Delta Z = Delta A + Delta B` (Max possible error) `DeltaZ = a+b`
