Correct Answer - Option 2 : \((18\pm 0.29)kg\)

Correct option-2

Concept:

Multiplication operation in error-

\(\text{Let a quantity }x=ab \)

\( \text{Then, }(x\pm \Delta x)=(a\pm \Delta a)(b\pm \Delta b)\)

\( \Rightarrow x\left( 1\pm \frac{\Delta x}{x} \right)=ab\left( 1\pm \frac{\Delta a}{a} \right)\left( 1\pm \frac{\Delta b}{b} \right)\)

\( \Rightarrow \left( 1\pm \frac{\Delta x}{x} \right)=\left( 1\pm \frac{\Delta a}{a} \right)\left( 1\pm \frac{\Delta b}{b} \right) \)

\(\Rightarrow 1\pm \frac{\Delta x}{x}=1\pm \frac{\Delta a}{a}\pm \frac{\Delta b}{b}\pm \frac{\Delta a}{a}\centerdot \frac{\Delta b}{b}\)

\(Here,\frac{\Delta a}{a}\centerdot \frac{\Delta b}{b}\text{ is very small,so neglected}\text{.} \)

\( \Rightarrow \pm \frac{\Delta x}{x}=\pm \frac{\Delta a}{a}\pm \frac{\Delta b}{b}\)

\(\rm {Hence, maximum \ possible \ value \ of }\)

\( \frac{\Delta x}{x}=\pm \left( \frac{\Delta a}{a}+\frac{\Delta b}{b} \right)\)

Calculation:

Given :-

Density, \(d=\left ( 9\pm 0.2 \right )kg/m^{3}\)

Volume, \(V=\left ( 2\pm 0.01 \right )m^{3}\)

Since, Mass = density * volume

\(\Rightarrow m=d\times V\)

\(\Rightarrow m=\left ( 9\times 2 \right )=18kg\)

Now, \(\frac{\Delta m}{m}=\pm \left ( \frac{\Delta d}{d} +\frac{\Delta v}{v}\right )\)

\(\Rightarrow \Delta m=\pm \left [ \left ( \frac{0.01}{2} +\frac{0.2}{9}\right )\times 18\right ]kg\)

\(\Rightarrow \Delta m=\pm \left ( 0.09+0.2 \right )kg\)

\(\Rightarrow \Delta m=\pm \left ( 0.09+0.2 \right )kg\)

\(\Rightarrow m=\left ( m\pm \Delta m \right )\)

\(\therefore m=\left ( 18\pm 0.29 \right )kg\)

Hence, option-2 is correct
