Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 5

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{d}=\frac{\mathrm{m}}{\text { vol. }}=\frac{\mathrm{m}}{\pi \mathrm{R}^2 \ell} \Rightarrow \frac{\mathrm{~d} \rho}{\rho}=\frac{\mathrm{dm}}{\mathrm{m}}+\frac{2 \mathrm{dR}}{\mathrm{R}}+\frac{\mathrm{d} \ell}{\ell} \\ & \Rightarrow \frac{\mathrm{d} \rho}{\rho}=\left(\frac{0.003}{0.6}+\frac{2 \times 0.01}{0.5}+\frac{0.05}{10}\right) 100=5 \%\end{aligned}\)
