If `X = a + b` , the maximum percentage error in the measurement of `X` will be

A

`((Deltaa)/a+(Deltab)/b)xx100%`

B

`((Deltaa)/(a+ b)-(Deltab)/(a+b))xx100%`

C

`((Deltaa)/(a+b)+(Deltab)/(a+b))xx100%`

D

`((Delta)/axx(Deltab)/b)xx100%`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
`Deltax=Deltaa+Deltab,(Deltax)/x xx 100=((Deltaa+Deltab)/(a+b))xx100=((Deltaa)/(a+b)+(Deltab)/(a+b))xx100`
