The relative density of material of a body is found by weighing it first in air and then in water. If the weight in air is ($5.00 \pm 0.05$) Newton and weight in water is ($4.00 \pm 0.05$) Newton. Then the relative density along with the maximum permissible percentage error is

  • A

    $5.0  \pm 11\%$

  • B

    $5.0  \pm 1\%$

  • C

    $5.0  \pm 6\%$

  • D

    $1.25  \pm  5\%$

A physical quantity $X$ is related to four measurable quantities $a,\, b,\, c$ and $d$ as follows $X = a^2b^3c^{\frac {5}{2}}d^{-2}$. The percentange error in the measurement of $a,\, b,\, c$ and $d$ are $1\,\%$, $2\,\%$, $3\,\%$ and $4\,\%$ respectively. What is the percentage error in quantity $X$ ? If the value of $X$ calculated on the basis of the above relation is $2.763$, to what value should you round off the result.
