Correct Answer - c
`X=(a^(3)b^(2))/(sqrt(c)d)`
`therefore` the relative error in X is
`therefore (DeltaX)/(X)=3(Deltaa)/(a)+2(Deltab)/(b)+(1)/(2)(Deltac)/(c)+(Deltad)/(d)`
(Errors are added)
`therefore%` errors in the measurement of X will be
`(DeltaX)/(X)xx100=3(Deltaa)/(a)xx100+2(Deltab)/(b)xx100`
`+(1)/(2)(Deltac)/(c)xx100+(Deltad)/(d)xx100`
`=3xx1%+2xx2%+(1)/(2)xx4%+4%`
`=3%+4%+2%+4%=13%`
