    If error in measurement of radius of sphere is\[1%\], what will be the error in measurement of volume?

    A) \[1%\]                                  

    B) \[1/3%\]

    C) \[3%\]                                  

    D) \[10%\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Let \[R\] be the radius of a sphere. Volume of sphere\[=\frac{4}{3}\pi {{R}^{3}}\] Taking log on both sides we have                 \[\log V=\log \frac{4}{3}\pi +\log {{R}^{3}}\]                 \[\log V=\frac{4}{3}\pi +3\log R\] In order to obtain charge in volume, we differentiate both sides. \[\therefore \]                  \[\frac{\Delta V}{V}=\frac{3\Delta R}{R}\] \[\therefore \]Percentage charge in volume\[=3\times \]                                 percentage charge in radius                 \[=3\times 1%=3%\]
