If $x = a - b$,then the percentage error in $x$ will be

  • A
    $\left( \frac{\Delta a}{a} + \frac{\Delta b}{b} \right) \times 100\%$
  • B
    $\left( \frac{\Delta a}{a} - \frac{\Delta b}{b} \right) \times 100\%$
  • C
    $\left( \frac{\Delta a}{a-b} + \frac{\Delta b}{a-b} \right) \times 100\%$
  • D
    $\left( \frac{\Delta a}{a-b} - \frac{\Delta b}{a-b} \right) \times 100\%$
