The density of a material in the shape of a cube is determined by measuring three sides of the cube and its mass. If the relative errors in measuring the mass and length are respectively $1.5\%$ and $1\%$, the maximum error in determining the density is ........ $\%$

$3.5$

$4.5$

$6$

$2.5$

(JEE MAIN-2018)

Solution

$Density\left( d \right) = \frac{{mass\left( M \right)}}{{volume\left( V \right)}} = \frac{M}{{{L^3}}}$
$\therefore Error\,in\,density,\,\frac{{\Delta d}}{d} = \frac{{\Delta M}}{M} + \frac{{3\Delta L}}{L}$
$ = 1.5\% + 3\left( {1\% } \right) = 4.5\% $
