Solution

The correct option is C $K = \frac{Δ Y}{Δ I}$
Investment multiplier refers to the number of time by which the increase in output or income exceeds the increase in investment. It is measured as the ratio between change in income and change in investment and it is denoted as 'k'. Algebraically,
k = ΔY/ ΔI where Y is the income and I is the investment expenditure in the economy.

Q. PARAGRAPH
If the measurement errors in all the independent quantities are known, then it is possible to determine the error in any dependent quantity. This is done by the use of series expansion and truncating the expansion at the first power of the error. For example, consider the relation

z = x / y

. If the errors in

x, y

z

Δ x, Δ y

Δ z

, respectively, then

z \pm Δ z = \frac{x \pm Δ x}{y \pm Δ y} = \frac{x}{y} (1 \pm \frac{Δ x}{x}) {(1 \pm \frac{Δ y}{y})}^{- 1}

.
The series expansion for

The above derivation makes the assumption that

Δ x / x ≪ 1, Δ y / y ≪ 1

. Therefore, the higher powers of these quantities are neglected.
