The length of a cylinder is measured with a metre rod having least count $0.1 \;cm$. Its diameter is measured with vernier calipers having least count $0.01\; cm$. If the length and diameter of the cylinder are $5.0\; cm$ and $2.00\; cm$, respectively, then the percentage error in the calculated value of volume will be
A
$2$
B
$1$
C
$3$
D
$4$
Solution
Volume of cylinder $(V)=\pi r^{2} l$
$\frac{\Delta V}{V} \times 100=2 \times \frac{\Delta r}{r} \times 100+\frac{\Delta l}{l} \times 100$
$\frac{\Delta V}{V} \times 100=2 \times \frac{0.01}{2} \times 100+\frac{0.1}{5} \times 100$
$\frac{\Delta V}{V} \times 100=1 \%+2 \%=3 \%$
