Two full turns of the circular scale of gauge cover a distance of \(1\) mm on scale. The total number of divisions on the circular scale is \(50.\) Further, it is found that screw gauge has a zero error of \(-0.03\) mm. While measuring the diameter of a thin wire a student notes the main scale reading of \(3\) mm and the number of circular scale division in line, with the main scale as \(35.\) The diameter of the wire is:
1. \(3.32\) mm
2. \(3.73\) mm
3. \(3.67\) mm
4. \(3.38\) mm

A student measures the distance traversed in the free fall of a body, initially at rest in a given time. He uses this data to estimate g, the acceleration due to gravity. If the maximum percentage errors in measurement of the distance and the time are e1 and e2, respectively, the percentage error in the estimation of g is

(1) e1+2e2

(2) e1+e2

(3) e1-2e2

(4) e2-e1
