The correct answer is:
The maximum value of that can be determined is
Given, , and .
Least count in length is
Young's modulus is given by
For, ,
Here is unknown so we can not find the
The change in young’s modulus ratio is .
As seen from above, the minimum contribution to change in young’s modulus is given by the uncertainty in the length and the maximum contributing to the uncertainty in young’s modulus is given by uncertainty in radius.
Hence, correct option is .
