A physical quantity is given is `y = (a b^(3))/(c^(2)) . "If" Deltaa, Deltab, Deltac` are absolute errors, the possible fractional error in y is .........

A

`(Deltay)/(y) =(DeltaaDeltab)/(2Deltac)`

B

`(Deltay)/(y) = (Deltaa)/(a) +3 (Deltab)/(b) + 2 (Deltac)/(c)`

C

`(Deltay)/(y) = (Deltaa)/(a) + ((Deltab)/(a))^(3) + ((Deltac)/(c))^(2)`

D

`(Deltay)/(y)= (Deltaa)/(a) + (Deltab)/(a) + (Deltac)/(c)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

`(Deltay)/(y) = (Deltaa)/(a) + (Deltab)/(b) + 2 (Deltac)/(c)`
