A physical quantity is given by $X = {M^a}{L^b}{T^c}$. The percentage error in measurement of $M,L$ and $T$ are $\alpha ,\beta $ and $\gamma $ respectively. Then maximum percentage error in the quantity X is

  • A

    $a\alpha + b\beta + c\gamma $

  • B

    $a\alpha + b\beta - c\gamma $

  • C

    $\frac{a}{\alpha } + \frac{b}{\beta } + \frac{c}{\gamma }$

  • D

    None of these
