Question

In an experiment four quantities $$a,b,c$$  and $$d$$ are measured with percentage error $$1\% ,2\% ,3\% $$   and $$4\% $$ respectively. Quantity $$P$$ is calculated as follows
$$P = \frac{{{a^3}{b^2}}}{{cd}}\% $$    error in $$P$$ is

A. $$10\% $$
B. $$7\% $$
C. $$4\% $$
D. $$14\% $$  
Answer :   $$14\% $$
Solution :
$$\eqalign{ & P = \frac{{{a^3}{b^2}}}{{cd}},\frac{{\Delta P}}{P} \times 100\% = 3\frac{{\Delta a}}{a} \times 100\% + 2\frac{{\Delta b}}{b} \times 100\% + \frac{{\Delta c}}{c} \times 100\% + \frac{{\Delta d}}{d} \times 100\% \cr & = 3 \times 1\% + 2 \times 2\% + 3\% + 4\% \cr & = 14\% \cr} $$
