The percentage errors in quantities \(P, Q, R\) and \(S\) are \(0.5\%,\,1\%,\,3\%\) and \(1 .5\%\) respectively in the measurement of a physical quantity \(A\, = \,\frac{{{P^3}{Q^2}}}{{\sqrt {R}\,S }}\) . the maximum percentage error in the value of \(A\) will be ........... \(\%\)
Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) \(6.5\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(\begin{array}{l}
Maximum\,percentage\,error\,in\,A\\
= 3\left( {\% \,error\,in\,p} \right) + 2\left( {\% \,error\,in\,Q} \right)\\
\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, + \frac{1}{2}\left( {\% \,error\,in\,R} \right) + 1\left( {\% \,error\,in\,S} \right)\\
= 3 \times 0.5 + 2 \times 1 = \frac{1}{2} \times 3 + 1 \times 1.5\\
= 1.5 + 2 + 1.5 + 1.5 = 6.5\%
\end{array}\)
Maximum\,percentage\,error\,in\,A\\
= 3\left( {\% \,error\,in\,p} \right) + 2\left( {\% \,error\,in\,Q} \right)\\
\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, + \frac{1}{2}\left( {\% \,error\,in\,R} \right) + 1\left( {\% \,error\,in\,S} \right)\\
= 3 \times 0.5 + 2 \times 1 = \frac{1}{2} \times 3 + 1 \times 1.5\\
= 1.5 + 2 + 1.5 + 1.5 = 6.5\%
