Correct Answer: Option D
Explanation:
The percentage error is \(\frac{error}{actual}\times \frac{100}{1}\%\\
=\frac{200-190}{200}\times \frac{100}{1}\\
=\frac{10}{200}\times \frac{100}{1}\% = 5\%\)
The percentage error is \(\frac{error}{actual}\times \frac{100}{1}\%\\
=\frac{200-190}{200}\times \frac{100}{1}\\
=\frac{10}{200}\times \frac{100}{1}\% = 5\%\)
