If $x = a -b,$ then percentage error in $x$ will be

  • A

    $\left( {\frac{{\Delta a}}{a} + \frac{{\Delta b}}{b}} \right) \times 100\,\% $

  • B

    $\left( {\frac{{\Delta a}}{a} - \frac{{\Delta b}}{b}} \right) \times 100\,\% $

  • C

    $\left( {\frac{{\Delta a}}{a-b} + \frac{{\Delta b}}{a-b}} \right) \times 100\,\% $

  • D

    $\left( {\frac{{\Delta a}}{a-b} - \frac{{\Delta b}}{a-b}} \right) \times 100\,\% $
