Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
C.
Step-by-step solution
Given quantity is .
The relative error in measuring is given by
Hence, the required percentage error is given by
\begin{cases}\dfrac{\DeltaQ}{Q} \times 100 & = & 4\left(\dfrac{\Deltaa}{a} \times 100\right) + 3\left(\dfrac{\Deltab}{b} \times 100\right) + 2\left(\dfrac{\Deltac}{c} \times 100\right) \\ & = & 4 \times 3 % + 3 \times 4 % + 2 \times 5 % \\ & = & 12 % + 12 % + 10 % \\ & = & 34 %\end{cases}
