In an experiment, four quantities a,b,c and d are measured with percentage error `1%, 2%, 3%` and `4%` respectively. Quantity P is calculated `P = (a^(3)b^(2))/(cd)%`. Error in P is

A

`4%`

B

`14%`

C

`10%`

D

`7%`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
P =` (a^(3)b^(2))/(cd) rArr (DeltaP)/(P) xx 100`
`" "= pm ( 3(Deltaa)/(a) + 2 (Delta b)/(b) + (Delta c)/(c ) + (Delta d)/(d)) xx 100`
`= pm ( 3xx 1 + 2xx 2 + 3 +4) = pm 14%`
