    The relative density of a material of a body is found by weighing it first in air and then in water. If the weight of the body in air is \[W_{1}^{{}}\] = \[8.00\text{ }\pm \text{ }0.05\text{ }N\]and the weight in water is \[W_{2}^{{}}\] = \[6.00\text{ }\pm \text{ }0.05\] N, then the relative density \[\rho _{r}^{{}}=W_{1}^{{}}/(W_{1}^{{}}-W_{2}^{{}})\] With the maximum permissible error is

    A) \[4.00\text{ }\pm 0.62\]%           

    B) \[4.00\text{ }\pm 0.82\]%

    C) \[4.00\text{ }\pm 3.2\]%

    D) \[4.00\text{ }\pm 5.62\]%

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    [d] Relative density \[{{\rho }_{r}}=\frac{{{W}_{1}}}{{{W}_{1}}-{{W}_{2}}}=\frac{8.00}{8.00-6.00}=4.00\] \[\frac{\Delta {{\rho }_{r}}}{{{\rho }_{r}}}\times 100=\frac{\Delta {{W}_{1}}}{{{W}_{1}}}\times 100+\frac{\Delta ({{W}_{1}}-{{W}_{2}})}{{{W}_{1}}-{{W}_{2}}}\times 100\] \[=\frac{0.05}{8.00}\times 100+\frac{0.05+0.05}{2}\times 100=5.62\text{ }\]%\[\therefore {{\rho }_{r}}=4.00\pm 5.62\]%
