Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(0.3 \%\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{R}=\frac{\rho \mathrm{L}}{\pi \frac{\mathrm{d}^2}{4}}\)

\(\frac{\Delta \mathrm{R}}{\mathrm{R}}=\frac{\Delta \mathrm{L}}{\mathrm{L}}+\frac{2 \Delta \mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}}\)

\(\frac{\Delta \mathrm{L}}{\mathrm{L}}=0.1 \% \text { and } \frac{\Delta \mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}}=0.1 \%\)

\(\frac{\Delta \mathrm{R}}{\mathrm{R}}=0.3 \%\)
