Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{3}{2}\alpha \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{array}{l}
{\mathop{\rm Re}\nolimits} lative\,\,eroor\,\,in\,\,surface\,\,area,\\
\frac{{\Delta s}}{s} = 2 \times \frac{{\Delta r}}{r} = \alpha \,and\,relative\,error\,in\\
volume,\,\frac{{\Delta v}}{v} = 3 \times \frac{{\Delta r}}{r}\\
\therefore \,{\mathop{\rm Re}\nolimits} lative\,\,error\,in\,volume\,w.r.t\,relative\,error\,in\,area,\\
\frac{{\Delta v}}{v} = \frac{3}{2}\alpha 
\end{array}\)
