A physical parameter a can be determined by measuring the parameters b, c, d and e using the relation a = $b^{\alpha }{c}^{\beta }/d^{\gamma }{e}^{\delta }$. If the maximum errors in the measurement of b, c, d and e are b₁%, c₁%, d₁% and e₁%, then the maximum error in the value of a determined by the experiment is

(2) ($b_1+c_1-d_1-e_1$)%

(3) ($\alpha b_1+\beta c_1-\gamma d_1-\delta e_1$)%

(4) ($\alpha b_1+\beta c_1+\gamma d_1+\delta e_1$)%
