[单选题]
The time for two eve(pe-ln;jm4jr2vwf ;ints, a ar;(yr emd7k48j 8k bzynd b, 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 uncertainties. Theyu gcf 8 3cy5lfy)r:hn) cannot both be the smallest, so they must both be incorrect. A and B will have the same absolute uncertainty (0.2 s), but A is a large number (10) compared to:l)fy5rhn3 ug ) f8cyc B (0.2). Hence fractional uncertainty of A is the smallest.
