    The diameter and height of a cylinder are measured by a meter scale to be \[12.6\,\,\pm \,\,0.1\] cm and \[34.2\,\,\pm \,0.1\] cm, respectively. What will be the value of its volume in appropriate significant figures? [JEE Main 10-Jan-2019 Evening]

    A) \[4264.4\,\,\pm \,\,81.0\text{ }c{{m}^{3}}\]

    B) \[4264\,\,\pm \,\,81c{{m}^{3}}\]

    C) \[4300\,\,\pm \,\,80\text{ }c{{m}^{3}}\]

    D) \[4260\,\,\pm \,\,80\text{ }c{{m}^{3}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    [d] \[V=\frac{\pi {{D}^{2}}h}{4}\]
    \[V=\frac{\pi }{4}\times {{\left( 12.6 \right)}^{2}}\times 34.2\]
    \[V=4262.229\]
    Answer should be in three significant numbers
    As D & h. ‘both have 3 significant figures
    \[\therefore \,\,\,V=4260\]
    \[\frac{dV}{V}=2\frac{dD}{D}+\frac{dh}{h}\]
    \[dV\,=\,\left[ 2\times \frac{0.1}{12.6}+\frac{0.1}{34.2} \right]\,\times \,4260\]
    \[dV=80\]
    \[\therefore \,\,\,V=4260\,\,\pm \,\,80\,c{{m}^{3}}\]
