The relative error in the dertmination o...

The relative error in the dertmination of the surface area of a sphere is `alpha`. Then the relative error in the determination of its volume is :

A

`(2)/(3)alpha`

B

`(2)/(3)alpha`

C

`(3)/(2)alpha`

D

`alpha`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

`"Relative error in Surface area, "(Deltas)/(s)=2xx(Delrar)/(r)=alpha and " relative error in volume, "=(Deltav)/(v)=3xx(Deltar)/(r)`
`therefore" Relative error in volume w.r.t. relative error in area, "`
`(Deltav)/(v)=(3)/(2)alpha`
