Question

The density of a cube is measured by measuring
its mass and length of its sides. If the maximum
error in the measurement of mass and lengths are
3% and 2% respectively, the maximum error in
the measurement of density would be
(1) 12%
(2) 14%
(3) 7%
(4) 9%​

Answer 1

This measurement is made by taking the measurements of the cube's mass and length of its edge. The maximum errors in these measurements are found to be 0.3% and 0.2% respectively. We are supposed to find the maximum error in the measurement of density. So, the correct answer is “Option C”.
