Let Resistance of resistor-A = ( 6 ± ΔRA ) Ω 
Let Resistance of resistor-B = ( 4 ± ΔRB ) Ω
 
When connected in series, equivalent resistance =  [ 10 ±( ΔRA + ΔRB ) ] Ω
 
tolerence in percentage for the equivalent resistance  = [ ( ΔRA + ΔRB )/( RA + RB ) ]× 100  ................(1)
 
In eqn.(1), RA = 6Ω  and RB = 4Ω
 
If resistor-A has tolerence 10%,  then we have, ΔRA / RA  = 0.1    or ΔRA = 0.6 Ω
If resistor-B has tolerence 10%,  then we have, ΔRB / RB  = 0.1    or ΔRB = 0.4 Ω
 
if we substitute the relevant values in eqn.(1), we get the tolerence of resitors connected in series as, 
 
tolerence in percentage = [ ( 0.6 + 0.4 )/( 6 + 4 ) ]× 100 = 10 %
