Question
The length, breath and thickness of a strip (10.0 ± 0.1) cm, (1.00 ± 0.01) cm a (0.100 ± 0.001) cm respectively. The most probable error in its volume will be
Options
A.± 0.03 cm3
B.±0.111 cm3
C.±0.012 cm3
D.None of these
Solution
∵ V = lbt ∴ 
V = (10.0)(1.00)(0.100) = 1.00 cm3
ᐃV = (1.00)
= 0.03 cm3
V = (10.0)(1.00)(0.100) = 1.00 cm3
ᐃV = (1.00)
= 0.03 cm3Create a free account to view solution
