    If a body travels uniformally a distance of \[\left( 8.0 \pm  0.8 \right) m\] in time \[\left( 2 \pm  0.5 \right) s\], then the percentage error in velocity is

    A)  \[\pm \,\,80\,%\]                       

    B)  \[\pm \,\,40\,%\]

    C)  \[\pm \,\,35\,%\]                       

    D)  None of these

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Here distance, \[\operatorname{s} = \left( 8.0 \pm  0.8 \right) m\] and time \[\operatorname{t}=\left( 2.0 \pm  0.5 \right) s\] So, velocity \[v=\frac{s}{t}=\frac{8.0}{2.0}=4.0m/s\] Now, \[\frac{\Delta v}{v}=\pm \left( \frac{\Delta s}{s}+\frac{\Delta t}{t} \right)\] \[=\,\,\,\,\pm \,\left( \frac{0.8}{8.0}+\frac{0.5}{2.0} \right)\] \[=\,\,\,\pm \,\left( 0.1+0.25 \right)\] \[=\,\,\,\pm  0.35\] \[\frac{\Delta v}{v}\,\,\times \,\,100\,\,=\,\,\pm 0.35\,\,\times \,\,100\] \[=\,\,\,\pm  35\,%\]
