If the error in the measurement of radius of a sphere is 2%, then the error in the determination of volume of the sphere will be

a
4%
b
6%
c
8%
d
2%

detailed solution

Correct option is B

Volume of a sphere = 43π (radius)3or    V = 43πR3Taking logarithm on both sides, we havelog V = log 43π+ 3 log RDifferentiating we get ∆VV = 0+ 3∆RRAccordingly, ∆RR = 2%Thus, ∆VV = 3×2% = 6%
