$A$ physical quantity $A$ can be determined by measuring parameters $B, C, D$ and $E$ using the relation $A = \frac{B^\alpha C^\beta}{D^\gamma E^\delta}$. If the maximum percentage errors in the measurement of $B, C, D$ and $E$ are $b\%, c\%, d\%$ and $e\%$ respectively,then the maximum percentage error in the value of $A$ is:

The length of a cylinder is measured with a metre rod having a least count of $0.1 \; cm$. Its diameter is measured with vernier calipers having a least count of $0.01 \; cm$. If the length and diameter of the cylinder are $5.0 \; cm$ and $2.00 \; cm$ respectively,then the percentage error in the calculated value of volume will be (in $\%$)
