  • A
    $[ML^5T^{-2}]$
  • B
    $[ML^{-1}T^{-2}]$
  • C

In an experiment,four quantities $a, b, c$ and $d$ are measured with percentage errors of $1\%, 2\%, 3\%$ and $4\%$ respectively. Quantity $w$ is calculated as follows: $w = \frac{a^4 b^3}{c^2 \sqrt{d}}$. The percentage error in the measurement of $w$ is .......... $\%$.

Sometimes it is convenient to construct a system of units so that all quantities can be expressed in terms of only one physical quantity. In one such system, dimensions of different quantities are given in terms of a quantity $X$ as follows: $[position] = [X^\alpha]$; $[speed] = [X^\beta]$; $[acceleration] = [X^p]$; $[linear momentum] = [X^q]$; $[force] = [X^r]$. Then -
$(A)$ $\alpha + p = 2\beta$
$(B)$ $p + q - r = \beta$
$(C)$ $p - q + r = \alpha$
$(D)$ $p + q + r = \beta$
