The mass and volume of a body are found to be 5.00 `+-` 0.05 kg and 1.00 `+-` 0.05 `m^(3)` respectively. Then the maximum possible percentage error in its density is

Options

A. 0.06
B. 0.03
C. 0.1
D. 0.05

Answer

A

Explanation

`(Delta rho)/(rho) = (Delta m)/(m) + (Delta V)/(V)`
`= (0.05)/(5) xx 100 + (0.05)/(1) xx 100 = 6`
`(Delta rho)/(rho) = 6%`
