    The mass and volume of a body are found to be 5.00 ± 0.05 kg and\[1.00\text{ }\pm \text{ }0.05\text{ }{{m}^{3}},\] respectively. Then the maximum possible percentage error in its density is

    A)  6%                 

    B)  3%                             

    C)  7%                 

    D)  5%                             

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Here, mass of a body,\[M=5\text{ }00\pm 0.05\text{ }kg\] Volume of a body \[V=100\pm 0.05\,{{m}^{3}}\] Density, \[\rho =\frac{M}{V}\] Relative error in density is \[\frac{\Delta \rho }{\rho }=\frac{\Delta \Mu }{M}+\frac{\Delta V}{V}\] Percentage error in density is \[\frac{\Delta \rho }{\rho }\times 100=\frac{\Delta M}{M}\times 1000+\frac{\Delta V}{V}\times 100\] \[=\left( \frac{0.05}{5}\times 100 \right)+\left( \frac{0.05}{1}\times 100 \right)=1%+5%=6%\] Hence, the correction option is [a].
