The percentage errors in the measurement of mass ( M ), length ( L...

The percentage errors in the measurement of mass (MM), length (LL), and time (TT) are 1%1\%, 2%2\%, and 3%3\% respectively. Match the physical quantities in List-I with the maximum percentage error in their calculated values in List-II.

List-IList-II
A. Linear momentumI. 9%9\%
B. ForceII. 14%14\%
C. Kinetic energyIII. 6%6\%
D. PowerIV. 11%11\%

Options

  1. AA-III, B-IV, C-I, D-II
  2. BA-IV, B-I, C-III, D-II
  3. CA-III, B-I, C-II, D-IV
  4. DA-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II

Correct answer

D. A-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II

Step-by-step solution

The maximum percentage error in a quantity with dimensional formula [MaLbTc][M^a L^b T^c] is given by a(% error in M)+b(% error in L)+∣c∣(% error in T)a(\%\text{ error in } M) + b(\%\text{ error in } L) + |c|(\%\text{ error in } T).

A. Linear momentum [MLT−1][M L T^{-1}]:
% error=1(1%)+1(2%)+1(3%)=6%\%\text{ error} = 1(1\%) + 1(2\%) + 1(3\%) = 6\% (Matches III)

B. Force [MLT−2][M L T^{-2}]:
% error=1(1%)+1(2%)+2(3%)=9%\%\text{ error} = 1(1\%) + 1(2\%) + 2(3\%) = 9\% (Matches I)

C. Kinetic energy [ML2T−2][M L^2 T^{-2}]:
% error=1(1%)+2(2%)+2(3%)=11%\%\text{ error} = 1(1\%) + 2(2\%) + 2(3\%) = 11\% (Matches IV)

D. Power [ML2T−3][M L^2 T^{-3}]:
% error=1(1%)+2(2%)+3(3%)=14%\%\text{ error} = 1(1\%) + 2(2\%) + 3(3\%) = 14\% (Matches II)

Therefore, the correct matching is A-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II.

Answer: A-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II
