Assertion: Velocity of a particle varies as v=2cosπt m s-1 where t is time in sec. Least count of time-measuring device is 0.1 sec. Maximum probable absolute error in measurement of velocity at t=13 sec. can be calculated as
dv=vtt=13sec .dt, where dt = 0.1 s & dv = max probable error in v at t = 1/3 s.

Reason: Absolute error is equal to difference of measured value & actual value.
