उत्तर

The error in the measurement of the sides of a rectangle is 1%. The error in the measurement of its area is 2%.

Explanation:

A = l × b

∴ `(triangle"A")/"A" = (trianglel)/l + (triangle "b")/"b"` = 1% + 1% = 2

In a workshop, a worker measures the length of a steel plate with Vernier calipers having a least count 0.01 cm.
