If two resistors have resistances $R_1 = (350 \pm 3) \text{ } \Omega$ and $R_2 = (140 \pm 4) \text{ } \Omega$, then the percentage error for the sum and difference of $R_1$ and $R_2$ are respectively:

The International Avogadro Coordination project created the world's most perfect sphere using Silicon in its crystalline form. The diameter of the sphere is $9.4 \,cm$ with an uncertainty of $0.2 \,nm$. The atoms in the crystals are packed in cubes of side $a$. The side is measured with a relative error of $2 \times 10^{-9}$,and each cube has $8$ atoms in it. Then,the relative error in the mass of the sphere is closest to (assume molar mass of Silicon and Avogadro's number to be known precisely)

$A$ physical quantity is $A = P^2/Q^3$. The percentage error in the measurement of $P$ and $Q$ is $x$ and $y$ respectively. The maximum percentage error in the measurement of $A$ is:

Two students $P$ and $Q$ perform an experiment to verify Ohm's law for a conductor with resistance $R$. They use a current source and a voltmeter with least counts of $0.1 \, mA$ and $0.1 \, mV$,respectively. The plots of the variation of voltage drop $V$ across $R$ with current $I$ for both are shown below. Which statement is most likely to be correct?

$A$ simple pendulum is being used to determine the value of gravitational acceleration $g$ at a certain place. The length of the pendulum is $25.0 \; cm$ and a stopwatch with $1 \; s$ resolution measures the time taken for $40$ oscillations to be $50 \; s$. The accuracy in $g$ is ....... $\%$ (in $.40$)
