The period of oscillation of a simple pendulum is given by $T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}$ where l is about 100 cm and is known to have 1 mm accuracy. The period is about 2s. The time of 100 oscillations is measured by a stopwatch of least count 0.1 s. The percentage error in g is:

1. 0.1%

2. 1%

3. 0.2%

4. 0.8%

2. 4.56%

3. 6.50%

4. 8.42%
