A certain body weighs 22.42 
and has a measured volume of 4. 
. The possible error in the measurement of mass and volume are 0.01 
and 0.1 
. Then maximum error in the density will be
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
Density 
(i) Take logarithm to take base 
on the both sides of eqn (i), we get
lnp 
(ii)
Differentiate eqn (ii), on both sides, we get
Errors are always added, Error in the density 
will be
