The formula for the physical quantity is \(\mathrm{P}=\frac{\mathrm{x}^3 \mathrm{y}}{\mathrm{z}^2}\) and the percentage error in the determination of physical quantities \(x, y, z\) are \(0.6 \%, 3 \%\) and \(1.3 \%\) respectively. The percentage error in the measurement of \(P\) is

  1. A \(2.2 ~\%\)
  2. B \(4.9 ~\%\)
  3. C \(5.3 ~\%\)
  4. D \(7.4 ~\%\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(7.4 ~\%\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\frac{\Delta P}{P} \times 100\% = 3 \frac{\Delta x}{x} \times 100\% + 1 \frac{\Delta y}{y} \times 100\% + 2 \frac{\Delta z}{z} \times 100\%\) \( = 3(0.6 \%) + 1(3 \%) + 2(1.3 \%)\)
