Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
Given, 
As we know that, relative errors can be written as
On multiplying each term by 100 , each term will represent percentage error.
So, putting the given values in the above equation we get,
By trial and error, only option is valid for this scenario. Thus,
