[单选题]
The time for two events y3r u76s/r m)+wai tqkv4i5te6 c 9zg.*g;cw:ejx: htb :ccqx, a and 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 fract5vfx w(df1, m/k;dd waxp*k1sional uncertainties. They 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 B (0.2). Hence fractional unce,p1 v*d(wx;x/sfk wf amd15kdrtainty of A is the smallest.
