Two resistors of resistances $R_{1} = 100 \pm 3 \ \Omega$ and $R_{2} = 200 \pm 4 \ \Omega$ are connected $(a)$ in series,$(b)$ in parallel. Find the equivalent resistance of the $(a)$ series combination,$(b)$ parallel combination. Use for $(a)$ the relation $R = R_{1} + R_{2}$ and for $(b)$ $\frac{1}{R^{\prime}} = \frac{1}{R_{1}} + \frac{1}{R_{2}}$ and $\frac{\Delta R^{\prime}}{R^{\prime 2}} = \frac{\Delta R_{1}}{R_{1}^{2}} + \frac{\Delta R_{2}}{R_{2}^{2}}$.

In a simple pendulum experiment for determination of acceleration due to gravity $(g)$, time taken for $20$ oscillations is measured by using a watch of $1\,s$ least count. The mean value of time taken comes out to be $30\,s$. The length of the pendulum is measured by using a meter scale of least count $1\,mm$ and the value obtained is $55.0\,cm$. The percentage error in the determination of $g$ is close to ........... $\%$
