JEE MAIN - Physics (2018 - 15th April Morning Slot - No. 18)

The relative error in the determination of the surface area of sphere is $$\alpha $$. Then the relative error in the determination of its volume is :
$${3 \over 2}\alpha $$
$${2 \over 3}\alpha $$
$${5 \over 2}\alpha $$
$$\alpha $$

Explanation

Relative error in the surface are of the sphere,

$${{\Delta S} \over S}$$ = 2 $$ \times $$ $${{\Delta r} \over r}$$ = $$ \propto $$ (given)

Relative error in volume,

$${{\Delta V} \over V}$$ = 3 $$ \times $$ $${{\Delta r} \over r}$$

= 3 $$ \times $$ $${1 \over 2}$$ $$ \times $$ $${{\Delta S} \over S}$$

= $${3 \over 2}$$ $$ \times $$ $$ \propto $$

= $${3 \over 2}$$ $$ \propto $$
