The specific resistance ρ of a circular wire of radius r, resistance R, and length l is given by ρ=πr2R/l Given: r=0.24±0.02cm,R=30±1Ω, and l=4.80±0.01cm The percentage error in ρ is nearly 

a
7%
b
9%
c
13%
d
20%

detailed solution

Correct option is D

Required percentage =2Δrr+ΔRR+Δll100=2×0.020.24×100+130×100+0.014.80×100=16.7+3.3+0.2=20%
