A physical quantity z depends on four observables a,b,c and  d, as  z=a2b23cd3. The percentages of error in the measurement of a,b,c and d are 2%1.5%,4%and2.5% respectively. The percentage of error in  z is:

a
14.5%
b
16.5%
c
13.5%
d
12.25%

detailed solution

Correct option is A

%error in Z =2%error in a+23%error in b+12%error in c+3%error in d=2×2+231.5+12×4+32.5=14.5%
