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 $\%$)

If $P = \frac{A^3}{B^{5/2}}$ and $\Delta A$ is the absolute error in $A$ and $\Delta B$ is the absolute error in $B$,then the absolute error $\Delta P$ in $P$ is:

An experiment is performed to obtain the value of acceleration due to gravity $g$ by using a simple pendulum of length $L$. In this experiment,the time for $100$ oscillations is measured by using a watch of $1$ second least count,and the value is $90.0$ seconds. The length $L$ is measured by using a meter scale of least count $1$ mm,and the value is $20.0$ cm. The error in the determination of $g$ would be ........... $\%$.

The errors in the measurement which arise due to unpredictable fluctuations in temperature and voltage supply are:
