The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
Density $\rho=\frac{mass \, m}{volume \, V} .....(i)$
Take logarithm to take base $e$ on the both sides of eqn $(i)$, we get
$ ln\rho=lnm-lnV .....(ii)$
Differentiate eqn $(ii)$, on both sides, we get
$ \frac{? \rho}{\rho}=\frac{? m}{m}-\frac{? V}{V}$
Errors are always added, Error in the density $\rho$ will be
$ =\big[\frac{? m}{m}+\frac{? V}{V}\big]\times100 \%$
$=\big[\frac{0.01}{22.42}+\frac{0.1}{4.7}\big]\times100 \%$
$=2 \%$

Physical World
The physical world includes the complications of the natural world around us. It is a type of analysis of the physical world around us to understand how it works. The fundamental forces that control nature are:
- Gravitational Force is a universal force that exists as an outcome of mutual attraction between any two objects with respect to their masses.
- Electromagnetic Force can be understood as the force that is present between the charged particles. The force is stated by Coulomb’s law.
- Strong Nuclear Force is the force that ties the protons and neutrons in a nucleus. Of all the elemental forces in nature, a strong nuclear force is the strongest as its name suggests.
- Weak Nuclear Force can only be noticed in some of the nuclear processes such as the beta decay of the nucleus.
