The measured mass and volume of a body are `53.63g` and `5.8 cm^(3)` respectively, with possible errors of `0.01g` and `0.1cm^(3)`. The maximum percentage error in density is about

A

`0.2%`

B

`2%`

C

`5%`

D

`10%`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Density `rho = (M)/(V), (Delta rho)/(rho) xx 100 = [(Delta M)/(M) + (Delta V)/(V)]100`
