The pressure on a square plate is measured by measuring the force acting on the plate and the length of the sides of the plate. If the maximum percentage error in the measurement of force and length are $4 \%$ and $2 \%$ respectively,what is the percentage error in the measurement of pressure (in $\%$)?

    $1$
  • B

Two resistors of resistances $R_{1} = 100 \pm 3 \ \Omega$ and $R_{2} = 200 \pm 4 \ \Omega$ 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 $\frac{\Delta R^{\prime}}{R^{\prime 2}} = \frac{\Delta R_{1}}{R_{1}^{2}} + \frac{\Delta R_{2}}{R_{2}^{2}}$.
