367504 If \(X = \frac{A}{B}\) and \(\Delta X,\Delta A\) and \(\;\Delta B\) are maximum absolute errors in \(X\), \(A\) and \(B\) respectively, then the maximum fractional error in \(X\) is given by

1 \(\Delta X = \Delta A\; - \Delta B\)
2 \(\frac{{\Delta X}}{X} = \frac{{\Delta A}}{A}\; + \frac{{\Delta B}}{B}\)
3 \(\frac{{\Delta X}}{X} = \frac{{\Delta A}}{A}\; - \frac{{\Delta B}}{B}\)
