JEE Advanced 2018 Paper 1 Offline
If the measurement errors in all the independent quantities are known, then it is possible to determine the error in any dependent quantity. This is done by the use of series expansion and truncating the expansion at the first power of the error. For example, consider the relation $z = x/y.$ If the errors in $x,y$ and $z$ are $\Delta x,\Delta y$ and $\Delta z,$ respectively, then
$$z \pm \Delta z = {{x \pm \Delta x} \over {y \pm \Delta y}} = {x \over y}\left( {1 \pm {{\Delta x} \over x}} \right){\left( {1 \pm {{\Delta y} \over y}} \right)^{ - 1}}.$$

The series expansion for ${\left( {1 \pm {{\Delta y} \over y}} \right)^{ - 1}},$ to first power in $\Delta y/y.$ is $1 \pm \left( {\Delta y/y} \right).$ The relative errors in independent variables are always added. So the error in $z$ will be
$$\Delta z = z\left( {{{\Delta x} \over x} + {{\Delta y} \over y}} \right).$$

The above derivation makes the assumption that $\Delta x/x < < 1,$ $\Delta y/y < < 1.$ Therefore, the higher powers of these quantities are neglected.

Consider the ratio $r = {{\left( {1 - a} \right)} \over {1 + a}}$ to be determined by measuring a dimensionless quantity $a.$ If the error in the measurement of $a$ is $\Delta a\left( {\Delta a/a < < 1.} \right.$ then what is the error $\Delta r$ in determining $r$?
A.
${{\Delta a} \over {{{\left( {1 + a} \right)}^2}}}$
B.
${{2\Delta a} \over {{{\left( {1 + a} \right)}^2}}}$
C.
${{2\Delta a} \over {\left( {1 - {a^2}} \right)}}$
D.
${{2a\Delta a} \over {\left( {1 - {a^2}} \right)}}$

In the determination of Young's modulus $\left( {Y = {{4MLg} \over {\pi l{d^2}}}} \right)$ by using Searle's method, a wire of length L = 2 m and diameter d = 0.5 mm is used. For a load M = 2.5 kg, an extension l = 0.25 mm in the length of the wire is observed. Quantities d and l are measured using a screw gauge and a micrometer, respectively. They have the same pitch of 0.5 mm. The number of divisions on their circular scale is 100. The contributions to the maximum probable error of the Y measurement
A.
due to the errors in the measurements of d and l are the same.
B.
due to the error in the measurement of d is twice that due to the error in the measurement of l.
C.
due to the error in the measurement of l is twice that due to the error in the measurement of d.
D.
due to the error in the measurement of d is four times that due to the error in the measurement of l.
