PhysicsNEET 2019Significant figures and errors in measurement

Units and Measurements

In an experiment, the percentage errors in the measurement of physical quantities $A$ , $B$ , $C$ and $D$ are 1%, 2%, 3% and 4% respectively. Then the maximum percentage error in the measurement of $X$ , where $X = \frac{A ^{2} B ^{1/2}}{C ^{1/3} D ^{3}}$ , will be:

A. $\frac{3}{13} %$
B.16%✓
C. $- 10%$
D.10%

You have the answer. The worked solution — and why the other three were written — is part of a paid pack.
