Q3 of 61 Page 14

Mark the correct alternative in the following:

If an error of k% is made in measuring the radius of a sphere, then percentage error in its volume is


given % error in measuring the radius of a sphere Δr/r×100 =k (if let r is radius)

Find out : (Δv/v)×100 = ?


We know by the formula of the volume of the sphere





So,


=3×k


=3k%
