In question no. 5, fractional uncertainty is being asked.... so:
as speed = distance traveled / time taken
here, distance traveled is 385 - 115 = 270, and its uncertainty is, 1+1= 2mm (its not 1mm bcoz we have to take the uncertainties of both the initial and final values of distance travelled)
again for time taken, 3.5 - 1.5 = 2.0 and its uncertainty is .02 + .02 =0.04mm (same reason as above)
hence, there fractional uncertainties should be, 2/270 + 0.04/2.00
So the key is A.
Hope it helped...
Thankyou very very much
