In an experiment four quantities, a, b, c and d are measured with `%` error `1%, 2%, 3% and 4%` respectively. If the quantity A is calculated as `A=(a^(3)b^(2))/(cd)` the `%` error in A is :

A

`4%`

B

`28%`

C

`14%`

D

`7%`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

`A=(a^(3)b^(2))/(cd)`
`(DeltaA)/(A)=3((Deltaa)/(a))+2((Deltab)/(b))+((Deltac)/(c ))+((Deltad)/(d))`
`=3(1%)+2(2%)+3(%)+4%`
`=14%`
