Students $I$,$II$,and $III$ perform an experiment for measuring the acceleration due to gravity $(g)$ using a simple pendulum. They use different lengths of the pendulum and/or record time for different numbers of oscillations. The observations are shown in the table. Least count for length $= 0.1 \text{ cm}$. Least count for time $= 0.1 \text{ s}$.
