    $0.11$
  • B
    $0.089$
  • C
    $0.079$

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

Explain the statement: "The accuracy of a measurement cannot be determined by absolute error,but only by percentage error."

$A$ physical parameter $a$ can be determined by measuring the parameters $b, c, d$ and $e$ using the relation $a = \frac{b^\alpha c^\beta}{d^\gamma e^\delta}$. If the maximum percentage errors in the measurement of $b, c, d$ and $e$ are $b_1\%, c_1\%, d_1\%$ and $e_1\%$ respectively,then the maximum percentage error in the value of $a$ determined by the experiment is:
