$A$ cylindrical wire has a mass $(0.3 \pm 0.003) \text{ g}$,radius $(0.5 \pm 0.005) \text{ mm}$ and length $(6 \pm 0.06) \text{ cm}$. The maximum percentage error in the measurement of its density is (in $\%$)

Two resistances $60 \pm 0.36 \ \Omega$ and $30 \pm 0.09 \ \Omega$ are connected in parallel. The equivalent resistance is

If the length of a cylinder is $l = (4.00 \pm 0.01) \; cm$,radius $r = (0.250 \pm 0.001) \; cm$,and mass $m = 6.25 \pm 0.01 \; g$,calculate the percentage error in the determination of density.

$A$ physical quantity $Q$ is found to depend on quantities $a, b, c$ by the relation $Q = \frac{a^4 b^3}{c^2}$. The percentage errors in $a, b,$ and $c$ are $3 \%, 4 \%,$ and $5 \%$ respectively. Then,the percentage error in $Q$ is: (in $\%$)

During Searle's experiment,the zero of the Vernier scale lies between $3.20 \times 10^{-2} \text{ m}$ and $3.25 \times 10^{-2} \text{ m}$ of the main scale. The $20^{\text{th}}$ division of the Vernier scale exactly coincides with one of the main scale divisions. When an additional load of $2 \text{ kg}$ is applied to the wire,the zero of the Vernier scale still lies between $3.20 \times 10^{-2} \text{ m}$ and $3.25 \times 10^{-2} \text{ m}$ of the main scale,but now the $45^{\text{th}}$ division of the Vernier scale coincides with one of the main scale divisions. The length of the thin metallic wire is $2 \text{ m}$ and its cross-sectional area is $8 \times 10^{-7} \text{ m}^2$. The least count of the Vernier scale is $1.0 \times 10^{-5} \text{ m}$. The maximum percentage error in the Young's modulus of the wire is:
