A physical quantity \(z\) depends on four observables \(a,\) \(b,\) \(c\) and \(d ,\) as \(z =\frac{ a ^{2} b ^{\frac{2}{3}}}{\sqrt{ c } d ^{3}} .\) The percentage of error in the measurement of \(a, b, c\) and \(d\) are \(2 \%, 1.5 \%, 4 \%\) and \(2.5 \%\) respectively. The percentage of error in \(z\) is\(......\%\)

  1. A \(12.5\)
  2. B \(14.5\)
  3. C \(16.5\)
  4. D \(13.5\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(14.5\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\frac{\Delta Z}{Z}=\frac{2 \Delta a }{ a }+\frac{2}{3} \frac{\Delta b }{ b }+\frac{1}{2} \frac{\Delta c }{ c }+\frac{3 \Delta d }{ d }=14.5 \%\)
