The error in the measurement of the radius of a sphere is `1%` . The error in the measurement of its volume is :

A

`1%`

B

`3%`

C

`5%`

D

`8%`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Volume of sphere, `V=(4)/(3)piR^(3)`
`:.(DeltaV)/(V)xx100=3(DeltaR)/(R)xx100`
`=3xx1%=3%`
Hence correct choice is `(b)`.
