[单选题]
A student measures tw utb(r+-bsi x1m3b3ci8w-b6 )pkyuxm- 6 xljy(oh1omavt r vz 195x8wo lengths as follows: $$a = (10 \pm 0.1) \; cm$$ $$b = (20 \pm 0.1) \; cm$$
Which of the following quantities has the largest percentage uncertainty?

A. $a$
B. $b$
C. $a+b$
D. $a-b$


参考答案:  D


本题详细解析:
The largest percentage uncertainty will result from the largest abcno*tj3 dzr i 3iau--z,gg, j(solute uncertainty divided by the smallest measurement value. A and B have an absolute uncertainty of 0.1 cm, while for C & D it is 0.2 cm. So the percentage uncertainties are-un3zga,r gto-,d iic(z3 j*j : A 1%; B 0.5%; C 0.67%; and D 2%. Clearly D is the largest.
