The length of a cylinder is measured with a meter rod having the least count of 0.1 cm. Its diameter is measured with vernier callipers having the least count of 0.01 cm. Given that the length is 5.0 cm and the radius is 2.0 cm. The percentage error in the calculated value of the volume will be

1. 1%

2. 2%

3. 3%

4. 4%

In an experiment, the following observations were recorded: initial length L = 2.820 m, mass M = 3.00 kg, change in length l = 0.087 cm, diameter D = 0.041 cm. Taking g = 9.81 m/s² and using the formula, Y = $\frac{4MgL}{\pi D^{2}l}$, the maximum permissible error in Y will be:

1. 7.96%

2. 4.56%

3. 6.50%

4. 8.42%
