Statement I: The measurements of mass and length of a side of a cube involve errors of 3% and 2% respectively. The error in the densisty of its material computed from this data would be 9%.
Statement II: If u `=(x^(a)y^(b))/(z^(c))` the fractional error in the computation of u is `(Deltau)/(u)=a(Deltax)/(x)+b(Deltay)/(y)+c(Deltaz)/(z).`

A

Statement I is true statement II is true, statement II is a correct explanation for statement I.

B

Statement I is true statement II is true, statement II is not a correct explanation for statement I.

C

Statement I is true , statement II is false.

D
