A physical quantity is given by `X=["M"^(a)"L"^(b)"T"^(c)]`. The percentage error in measurement of M, L and T are `alpha,betaandgamma`, respectively. Then, the maximum % error in the quantity `X` is

A

`(alpha a + beta b + gamma c) %`

B

`(alpha a - beta b+ gamma c) % `

C

`(alpha a - beta b - gamma c ) % `

D

None of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
`(Delta X)/(X) xx 100 = a (Delta M)/(M) % + b (Delta L )/(L) % + c (Delta T)/(T) %`
`" "=a alpha % + b beta %+ cgamma % `
`(Delta X)/(X) xx 100 = (a alpha + b beta + c gamma) %`
