[单选题]
The time for two eves;+qq8cj n9m+ni 7m:quc )tw ints, a and bt5)4jel wa2 fr, are measured to be $(5.1 \pm 0.1)s$ and $(4.9 \pm 0.1)s$ respectively. In which of the following quantities is the fractional(percent) uncertainty the smallest?

A. $a+b$
B. $a-b$
C. $a \times b$
D. $a/b$


参考答案:  A


本题详细解析:
C and D will both have identical fractional uncerta: qchdt 4pz7u,m8lr8p1wp ej5inties. They cannot both be the smallest, so they mustrped1hu:z58c4j8 ,7 tmqplwp both be incorrect. A and B will have the same absolute uncertainty (0.2 s), but A is a large number (10) compared to B (0.2). Hence fractional uncertainty of A is the smallest.
