36.
A resistance is measured by voltmeter-ammeter method. The voltmeter is 0-250V, ± 1% accuracy and ammeter is 0-5 A, ± 1 % accuracy. The readings of voltmeter and ammeter are 100 V and 2 A respectively. The error in the measured resistance can be
± 1%
± 2%
± 5%
± 10%
Answer: Option
Explanation:

Error in voltmeter can be ± 2.5 V which for 100 V reading is ± 2.5 % . Error in ammeter can be ± 0.05 A which for 2 A reading is ± 2.5 %. Hence total error can be ± 5%.
