A physical quantity \(Q\) is found to depend on quantities \(a, b, c\) by the relation \(Q=\frac{a^4 b^3}{c^2}\). The percentage error in \(a\), \(b\) and \(c\) are \(3 \%, 4 \%\) and \(5 \%\) respectively. Then, the percentage error in \(\mathrm{Q}\) is _______.

  1. A  \(66 \%\)
  2. B  \(43 \%\)
  3. C  \(34 \%\)
  4. D  \(14 \%\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C)  \(34 \%\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( \mathrm{Q}=\frac{\mathrm{a}^4 \mathrm{~b}^3}{\mathrm{c}^2} \) \( \frac{\Delta \mathrm{Q}}{\mathrm{Q}}=4 \frac{\Delta \mathrm{a}}{\mathrm{a}}+3 \frac{\Delta \mathrm{b}}{\mathrm{b}}+2 \frac{\Delta \mathrm{c}}{\mathrm{c}} \)…
