The length and breadth of a rectangle are $(5.7 \pm 0.1) cm$ and $(3.4 \pm 0.2) cm$, respectively. Calculate the area of rectangle with error limits.
A
$(15.07 \pm 0.18) sq.cm$
B
$(17.07 \pm 0.98) sq.cm$
C
$(19.38 \pm 1.48) sq.cm$
D
$(16.07 \pm 1.18) sq.cm$
Solution
Here, $l=(5.7 \pm 0.1) cm , b =(3.4 \pm 0.2) cm$
Area, $A=l \times b=5.7 \times 3.4=19.38 cm ^{2}=19.0 cm ^{2}$
$\frac{\Delta A }{ A }=\pm\left(\frac{\Delta l }{ l }+\frac{\Delta b }{ b }\right)$$=\pm\left(\frac{0.1}{5.7}+\frac{0.2}{3.4}\right)=\pm\left(\frac{0.34+1.14}{5.7 \times 3.4}\right)$$=\pm \frac{1.48}{19.38}$
$\Rightarrow \triangle A =\pm \frac{1.48}{19.38} \times A =\pm \frac{1.48}{19.38} \times 19.38=\pm 1.48$
$\triangle A =\pm 1.5$
Area $=(19.0 \pm 1.5) cm ^{2}$
