A trader weighs 8.99 quintals of iron rods with the help of kilogram weights. Find the smallest possible limiting relative error.

A

`1.1%`

B

`0.11%`

C

`12.5%`

D

None of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

(i) Smallest poosible limiting relative error
= `"Smallest possible limiting error"/"Actual weight" xx 100`.
(ii) Convert the weight into kilograms.
(iii) Find the absolute error.
(iv) Relative error
=`"Absolute error"/"Exact value" xx 100`.
