Question #1
Which SI prefix represents 10⁻⁶?
A. pico
B. micro
C. nano
D. milli

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Micro (μ) denotes 10⁻⁶ in SI system. Nano = 10⁻⁹, pico = 10⁻¹², milli = 10⁻³. Standard prefixes: kilo(10³), milli(10⁻³), micro(10⁻⁶), nano(10⁻⁹). Memory aid: 'Micro = millionth; μm = micrometer = 10⁻⁶ m'. Frequently tested for unit conversion proficiency in competitive exams.

Question #3
If X = a²b³/c², and percentage errors in a, b, c are 2% each, the maximum percentage error in X is
A. 14%
B. 8%
C. 10%
D. 12%

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
ΔX/X = 2(Δa/a) + 3(Δb/b) + 2(Δc/c) = 2×2% + 3×2% + 2×2% = 4% + 6% + 4% = 14%. Always add absolute relative errors.
