Dear Abhingya

x=at² ...............1

y=bt....................2

put vallue of t from equation 2 to equation 1

x=a(y/b)²

y²=b²x/a

so option a is correct

The length of a massless rod is measured using vernier callipers having 10 vernier scale divisions and least count of 0.1 mm. Two masses 1.00 ± 0.01 kg and 4.00 ± 0.02 kg are attached to its ends. If reading of vernier scale is 5 divisions coinciding with 1.3 cm, what is the % error in locating centre of mass from lighter mass
