The focal length of a mirror is given by \(\frac{2}{f}=\frac{1}{v}-\frac{1}{u}\). In finding the values of \(u\) and \(v\), the errors are equal to ' \(p\) '. Then, the relative error in \(f\) is

  1. A \(\frac{p}{2}\left(\frac{1}{u}+\frac{1}{v}\right)\)
  2. B \(p\left(\frac{1}{u}+\frac{1}{v}\right)\)
  3. C \(\frac{p}{2}\left(\frac{1}{u}-\frac{1}{v}\right)\)
  4. D \(p\left(\frac{1}{u}-\frac{1}{v}\right)\)
