A student measure the distance traversed in freely fall of a body initially at rest in a given time. He uses this date to estimate the acceleration due to gravity (g). If the maximum percentage error in measurement of the distance and the time are `e_1 and e_2` respectively. The percent age error in the estimation of g is

A

`e_(1) + 2e_(2)`

B

`e_(1) + e_(2)`

C

`e_(1) - 2e_(2)`

D

`e_(2) - e_(1)`

In an experiment of simple pendulum the errors in the measurement of length of the pendulum L and time period T are 3% and 2% respectively. Find the maximum percentage error in the value of acceleration due to gravity.

A quantity z, to be estimated has a dependency on the variables a, b and c as z=ab^(2)c^(-2) . The percentage of error in the measurement of a, b and c are respectively, 2.1% , 1.3% and 2.2% . The percentage of error in the measurement of z would then be
