2.

The percentage error in measuring M, L and T are 1 %, 1.5% and 3% respectively. Then the percentage error in measuring the physical quantity with dimensions [ML-1 T-1] is

  • 1 %

  • 3.5 %

  • 5.5 %

  • 4.5 %


C.

5.5 %

Given, percentage error in measuring M = 1 %

          Percentage error in measuring L  = 1.5 %

Now the percentage error in measuring the physical quantity with dimensions [ML-1T-1] is

xx × 100 = MM × 100 + LL × 100 + TT × 100xx × 100 = 1 + 1.5 + 3xx × 100 =5.5 %
