Options:

A) -10%

B) 10%

C) $ ( \frac{3}{13} ) $ %

D) 16%

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

$ X=\frac{A^{2}{B^{1/2}}}{{C^{1/2}}D^{3}} $

$ \frac{\Delta X}{X}=\frac{2\Delta A}{A}+\frac{1}{2}\frac{\Delta B}{B}+\frac{1}{3}\frac{\Delta C}{C}+\frac{3\Delta D}{D} $

$ =2\times 1+\frac{1}{2}\times 2+\frac{1}{3}\times 3+3\times 4 $

$ =2+1+1+12 $

$ =16 $
