If the percentage errors of `A,B,and C` are `a, b, and c,` respectively ,then the total percentage error in the product `ABC` is

A

abc

B

`a + b+c`

C

`ab + bc+ ac`

D

`(a)/(b) +(b)/(c)+(c)/(a)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
`(Delta(ABC))/(ABC)=(DeltaA)/(A)+(DeltaB)/(A)+(DeltaC)/(C)=a+b+c`
