Question 5

This section contains SIX (06) questions.

 Each question has FOUR options for correct answer(s). ONE OR MORE THAN
ONE of these four
option(s) is (are) correct option(s).
 For each question, choose the correct option(s) to answer the question.
 Answer to each question will be evaluated according to the following marking
scheme:
Full Marks : + If only (all) the correct option(s) is (are) chosen.
Partial Marks : + If all the four options are correct but ONLY three options are
chosen.
Partial Marks : + If three or more options are correct but ONLY two options are
chosen, both of
which are correct options.
Partial Marks : + If two or more options are correct but ONLY one option is
chosen and it is a
correct option.
Zero Marks : 0 If none of the options is chosen (i.e. the question is unanswered).
Negative Marks : − In all other cases.
 For Example: If first, third and fourth are the ONLY three correct options for a
question with second option being an incorrect option; selecting only all the
three correct options will result in +4 marks. Selecting only two of the three
correct options (e.g. the first and fourth options), without selecting any incorrect
option (second option in this case), will result in +2 marks. Selecting only one of
the three correct options (either first or third or fourth option) ,without selecting
any incorrect option (second option in this case), will result in +1 marks. Selecting
any incorrect option(s) (second option in this case), with or without selection of
any correct option(s) will result in -2 marks.

Questions: 17 - 18

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 = / . If the errors in , and are Δ ,
Δ and Δ , respectively, then ± Δ = ( ±Δ )/( ±Δ ) = / (1 ± (Δ / )) (1 ± (Δ / ))⁻¹.
The series expansion for (1 ± Δ / )⁻¹, to first power in Δ / , is 1 ∓ (Δ / ). The
relative errors in independent variables are always added. So the error in will be
Δ = (Δ / + Δ / ). The above derivation makes the assumption that Δ / ≪1,
Δ / ≪1. Therefore, the higher powers of these quantities are neglected.
