A physical parameter a can be determined by measuring the parameters $b, c, d $ and $e $ using the relation $a =$ ${b^\alpha }{c^\beta }/{d^\gamma }{e^\delta }$. If the maximum errors in the measurement of $b, c, d$ and e are ${b_1}\%$, ${c_1}\%$, ${d_1}\%$ and ${e_1}\%$, then the maximum error in the value of a determined by the experiment is

If the maximum errors in the measurement of $b, c, d$ and e are ${b_1}\%$, ${c_1}\%$, ${d_1}\%$ and ${e_1}\%$, then the maximum error in the value of a determined by the experiment is

(${b_{1\,}}\, + \,{c_1}\, - \,{d_1}\, - \,{e_1}$)$\%$
($\alpha {b_1}\, + \,\beta {c_1}\, - \,\gamma {d_1}\, - \delta {e_1}$)$\%$

A physical parameter a can be determined by measuring the parameters $b, c, d $ and $e $ using the relation $a =$ ${b^\alpha }{c^\beta }/{d^\gamma }{e^\delta }$. If the maximum errors in the measurement of $b, c, d$ and e are ${b_1}\%$, ${c_1}\%$, ${d_1}\%$ and ${e_1}\%$, then the maximum error in the value of a determined by the experiment is
$a = {b^\alpha }\,{c^\beta }/{d^\gamma }\,{e^\delta }$
So maximum error in a is given by
${\left( {\frac{{\Delta a}}{a} \times 100} \right)_{\max }} = \alpha \,.\,\frac{{\Delta b}}{b} \times 100 + \beta \,.\,\frac{{\Delta c}}{c} \times 100$
$ + \gamma \,.\,\frac{{\Delta d}}{d} \times 100 + \delta \,.\,\frac{{\Delta e}}{e} \times 100$
$ = \left( {\alpha {b_1} + \beta {c_1} + \gamma {d_1} + \delta {e_1}} \right)\% $
