In measuring the sides of a rectangle errors of 5 % and 3 % in excess are made. The error percent in the calculates area is_________?

A. 8. 35 %
B. 7.15 %
C. 8.15 %
D. 6. 25%
Explanation:
Let length = x units and breadth = Y units
Then actual area = xy sq.units
Length shown = (105/100 × x)units = 21x/20 units;
Breadth shown = (103/100 × Y)
Calculated area = (21x/20 × 103y/100)sq.units
= 2163xy/2000 sq.units
Error = (2163xy/2000 – xy)
= 163xy/2000
Error % = (163xy/2000 × 1/xy × 100)%
= 163/20 % = 8.15 %
