the equivalent resistor in series will be
(6±0.3)kΩ + (10±0.2)kΩ = (16+0.5)kΩ
Hope it clears.....................

Dear student
 
equivalent resistance when connected in series = R1 + R2
 
now error in resistance = \DeltaR1 / R1 + \DeltaR2 / R2 = 0.3 / 6 + 0.2 /10
 
 =  0.05 + 0.02 = 0.07
 
Now percentage error = 0.07 * 100 = 7%
