Two resistors of resistances $R_1 = (100 \pm 3) \,\Omega$ and $R_2 = (200 \pm 4) \,\Omega$ are connected in series. The maximum absolute error and percentage error in the equivalent resistance of the series combination are:

  • A
    $7 \,\Omega, 2.3 \%$
  • B
    $1 \,\Omega, 0.3 \%$
  • C
    $3 \,\Omega, 1 \%$
  • D
    $4 \,\Omega, 1.3 \%$

Using the expression $2 d \sin \theta = \lambda$,one calculates the values of $d$ by measuring the corresponding angles $\theta$ in the range $0^{\circ}$ to $90^{\circ}$. The wavelength $\lambda$ is exactly known and the error in $\theta$ is constant for all values of $\theta$. As $\theta$ increases from $0^{\circ}$:
