Question

The maximum error in the measurement of mass and density of a cube are 3% and 1% respectively. The maximum error in the measurement of volume will be:

• A. 1%
• B. 2%
• C. 3%
• D. 4%

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

4%

$V=\frac{m}{d}$

$\frac{\Delta V}{V}\times 100=(\frac{\Delta m}{m}+\frac{\Delta d}{d})\times 100=(3+1)=4$%
