Show that the maximum error in quotient of two quantities is equal to sum of their individual fractional error . Share with your friends Share 0 Deepak Kumar answered this Dear Student , Suppose,Z=X+Y -----(i)Then,Final value of Z=(X±∆X)+(Y±∆Y)Where, ∆X and ∆Y are the maximum possible errors in X and Y respectively.If maximum possible error in Z is ±∆Z, thenZ±∆Z=(X±∆X)+(Y±∆Y)=[X+Y]±(∆X+∆Y)or ∆Z=∆X+∆Y (using i)Therefore, the maximum possible error in the final value is the sum of individual absolute errors.
