Step-by-step process to answer a NEET percentage-error question:
- Read the formula — e.g., Z = B /
- Identify every variable and its power — A (power 2), B (power 1), C (power 3)
- Write the error equation — /Z = 2(/A) + 1(/B) + 3(/C)
- Convert given errors to relative form — if given as ± values, divide by the central value
- Substitute numerical values — fill in each /X
- Sum all terms — never subtract
- Multiply by 100 — to get percentage error
- Calculate central value of Z — substitute central values of A, B, C
- State final answer — Z = [value] ± [% error]%
Step-by-step process to check dimensional consistency of an equation:
- Write the equation: e.g., = + 2as
- Find dimensions of each term:
- → [L^{2}$$T^{-2}]
- → [L^{2}$$T^{-2}]
- 2as → [L][L] = [L^{2}$$T^{-2}]
- All terms have identical dimensions → equation is dimensionally consistent
- Note: the constant 2 is dimensionless — dimensional analysis cannot check it
