As we learnt in 

Error in division x = a/b -

\frac{\Delta x}{x}=\pm \left ( \frac{\Delta a}{a}+\frac{\Delta b}{b} \right )

( maximum fractional error in  x)

- wherein

\Delta a= absolute error in measurement of a

\Delta b= absolute error in measurement of b

\Delta x= absolute error in measurement of x

 

 Quantities having different dimensions can only be divided or multiplied but they cannot be added or subtracted.


Option 1)

A/B

Option is correct

Option 2)

e^-{\frac{A}{B}}

Option is incorrect

Option 3)

A-B

Option is incorrect

Option 4)
