but for 10% error, we can check option (B) first,


q = 18c = 18c # p = 0.314

sin q = sin 18c = 0.309
% error = 0.314 - 0.309 # 100% = 0.49%
0.309
Now, we check it for q = 50c
q = 50c = 50c # p = 0.873
180c
sin q = sin 50c = 0.77
% error = 0.77 - 0.873 =- 12.25%
0.873
so, the error is more than 10% . Hence, for error less than 10%, q = 18c can have
