[单选题]
A student measures twoyg)o7.l pu3s03tehz i1w- amz0vfu,s6 .wwcc 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 willyr-29 woxys) p)ad*9a owkf f; result from the largest absolute uncertainty divided by the smallest measurement value. A and B have an absolute uncertainty of 0.1 cm)f o)pf2 *w;oxs-kada yr9yw9, while for C & D it is 0.2 cm. So the percentage uncertainties are: A 1%; B 0.5%; C 0.67%; and D 2%. Clearly D is the largest.
