A quantity Q is formulated as \(\mathrm{X}^{-2} \mathrm{Y}^{+\frac{3}{2}} \mathrm{Z}^{-\frac{2}{5}} \cdot \mathrm{X}, \mathrm{Y}\) and Z are independent parameters which have fractional errors of \(0.1,0.2\) and 0.5 , respectively in measurement. The maximum fractional error of Q is _______.

Pick an option to check your answer.
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 0.7

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned} & \text { Fractional error }=2 \frac{\Delta X}{X}+\frac{3}{2} \frac{\Delta Y}{Y}+\frac{2}{5} \frac{\Delta Z}{Z} \\ & =2(0.1)+\frac{3}{2}(0.2)+\frac{2}{5}(0.5) \\ & =0.2+0.3+0.2=0.7\end{aligned}\)
