The density of a solid metal sphere is determined by measuring its mass and its diameter. The maximum error in the density of the sphere is $\left(\frac{x}{100}\right) \%$. If the relative errors in measuring the mass and the diameter are $6.0 \%$ and $1.5 \%$ respectively,the value of $x$ is

  • A
    $1000$
  • B
    $1075$
  • C
    $1060$
  • D
    $1050$

During Searle's experiment,the zero of the Vernier scale lies between $3.20 \times 10^{-2} \text{ m}$ and $3.25 \times 10^{-2} \text{ m}$ of the main scale. The $20^{\text{th}}$ division of the Vernier scale exactly coincides with one of the main scale divisions. When an additional load of $2 \text{ kg}$ is applied to the wire,the zero of the Vernier scale still lies between $3.20 \times 10^{-2} \text{ m}$ and $3.25 \times 10^{-2} \text{ m}$ of the main scale,but now the $45^{\text{th}}$ division of the Vernier scale coincides with one of the main scale divisions. The length of the thin metallic wire is $2 \text{ m}$ and its cross-sectional area is $8 \times 10^{-7} \text{ m}^2$. The least count of the Vernier scale is $1.0 \times 10^{-5} \text{ m}$. The maximum percentage error in the Young's modulus of the wire is:

$A$ physical quantity $Q$ is found to depend on quantities $a, b, c$ by the relation $Q = \frac{a^4 b^3}{c^2}$. The percentage errors in $a, b,$ and $c$ are $3 \%, 4 \%,$ and $5 \%$ respectively. Then,the percentage error in $Q$ is: (in $\%$)
