MCQ

A physical quantity $p$ is described by the relation $p\, = a^{1/2}\, b^2\, c^3\, d^{-4}$

If the relative errors in the measurement of $a, b, c$ and $d$ respectively, are $2\% , 1\%, 3\%$ and $5\%$, then the relative error in $P$ will be ........... $\%$

A
$8$
B
$12$
✓
$32$
D
$25$

✓

Answer

Correct option: C.

$32$

c
$\begin{array}{l}
Give,\,p = {a^{1/2}}{b^2}{c^3}{d^{ - 4}},\\
Maximum\,relative\,error,\\
\frac{{\Delta p}}{p} = \frac{1}{2}\frac{{\Delta a}}{a} + 2\frac{{\Delta b}}{b} + 3\frac{{\Delta c}}{c} + 4\frac{{\Delta d}}{d}\\
= \frac{1}{2} \times 2 + 2 \times 1 + 3 \times 3 + 4 \times 5\\
= 32\%
\end{array}$
