JEE MainPhysicsEasyError analysis

The pressure on a square plate is measured by measuring the
force on the plate and the lengthof the sides of plate. If the maximum

error in themeasurement of force and length are respectively 4 and 2 then what is the maximum percentage error in themeasurement of pressure?

Show answer and solution
P=FA;  [P]=[FA]=[MLT−2L2]=[ML−1T−2]P = \frac{F}{A};\ \ \lbrack P\rbrack = \left\lbrack \frac{F}{A} \right\rbrack = \left\lbrack \frac{{MLT}^{- 2}}{L^{2}} \right\rbrack = \left\lbrack {ML}^{- 1}T^{- 2} \right\rbrack
