$A$ physical quantity is $A = P^2/Q^3$. The percentage error in the measurement of $P$ and $Q$ is $x$ and $y$ respectively. The maximum percentage error in the measurement of $A$ is:

  • A
    $2x - 3y$
  • B
    $3x - 2y$
  • C
    $3x + 2y$
  • D
    $2x + 3y$

The density of a cube is measured by measuring its mass and the length of its sides. If the maximum error in the measurement of mass and length are $4\%$ and $3\%$ respectively,the maximum error in the measurement of density will be ........ $\%$

The distance $s$ travelled by a particle in time $t$ is $s = ut - \frac{1}{2} gt^2$. The initial velocity of the particle was measured to be $u = 1.11 \pm 0.01 \, m/s$ and the time interval of the experiment was $t = 1.01 \pm 0.1 \, s$. The acceleration was taken to be $g = 9.8 \pm 0.1 \, m/s^2$. With these measurements,the student estimates the total distance travelled. How should the student report the result?
