Two resistors of resistances $R_{1}=100 \pm 3$ $ohm$ and $R_{2}=200 \pm 4$ $ohm$ are connected $(a)$ in series, $(b)$ in parallel. Find the equivalent resistance of the $(a)$ series combination, $(b)$ parallel combination. Use for $(a)$ the relation $R=R_{1}+R_{2}$ and for $(b)$ $\frac{1}{R^{\prime}}=\frac{1}{R_{1}}+\frac{1}{R_{2}}$ and $\frac{\Delta R^{\prime}}{R^{\prime 2}}=\frac{\Delta R_{1}}{R_{1}^{2}}+\frac{\Delta R_{2}}{R_{2}^{2}}$
