The relative error in the determination of the surface area of a sphere is \(\alpha \). Then the relative error in the determination of its volume is

  1. A \(\frac{2}{3}\alpha \)
  2. B \(\frac{5}{2}\alpha \)
  3. C \(\frac{3}{2}\alpha \)
  4. D \(\alpha \)
Verified Solution

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…
