A physical quantity PP is given as P=a2b3cdP = \dfrac{{a}^{2}{b}^{3}}{c\sqrt{d}}. The percentage error in the measurement of a,b,ca, b, c and dd are 11 % , 2 % , 3 % and 44 % respectively. The percentage error in the measurement of quantity PP will be

Options

  1. A1313 %
  2. B1616 %
  3. C1212 %
  4. D1414 %

Correct answer

A. 1313 %

Step-by-step solution

The given quantity is P=a2b3cdP = \dfrac{{a}^{2}{b}^{3}}{c\sqrt{d}}.

The percentage error for a quantity can be given by the formula ∆xx×100\dfrac{∆ x}{x} \times 100.

Relation of the relative errors will be,

\left(\dfrac{\DeltaP}{P}\right) = \left[\left(\dfrac{2\Deltaa}{a}\right) + \left(\dfrac{3\Deltab}{b}\right) + \left(\dfrac{\Deltac}{c}\right) + \left(\dfrac{1}{2}\dfrac{\Deltad}{d}\right)\right]</p><p>Hence,thepercentageerroriscalculatedbysubstitutingthevalues,</p><p></p><p>Hence, the percentage error is calculated by substituting the values,</p><p>\left(\dfrac{\DeltaP}{P}\right) \times 100 = \left(2 \times 1\right) + \left(3 \times 2\right) + 3 + \left(\dfrac{1}{2} \times 4\right) = 13 %.
