In an experiment,four quantities $p, q, r$,and $s$ are measured with percentage errors of $3 \%, 2 \%, 3 \%$,and $1 \%$ respectively. Quantity $A$ is calculated as follows: $A = \frac{pq^2}{r^2 s^4}$. The percentage error in $A$ is: (in $\%$)

The period of oscillation of a simple pendulum is $T = 2 \pi \sqrt{L / g}$. The measured value of $L$ is $20.0 \; cm$ known to $1 \; mm$ accuracy,and the time for $100$ oscillations of the pendulum is found to be $90 \; s$ using a wrist watch of $1 \; s$ resolution. What is the accuracy in the determination of $g$ in $\%$?

$A$ person measures the depth of a well by measuring the time interval between dropping a stone and receiving the sound of impact with the bottom of the well. The error in his measurement of time is $\delta T = 0.01 \ s$ and he measures the depth of the well to be $L = 20 \ m$. Take the acceleration due to gravity $g = 10 \ ms^{-2}$ and the velocity of sound $v = 300 \ ms^{-1}$. Then the fractional error in the measurement,$\delta L / L$,is closest to: (in $\%$)
