Can error be completely eliminated?

The period of oscillation of a simple pendulum is $T = 2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}$. The measured value of $L$ is $1.0 \text{ m}$ using a meter scale with a minimum division of $1 \text{ mm}$,and the time for one complete oscillation is $1.95 \text{ s}$ measured using a stopwatch with a resolution of $0.01 \text{ s}$. The percentage error in the determination of $g$ will be ..... $\%$.

$A$ student performs an experiment for the determination of $g = \frac{4 \pi^{2} \ell}{T^{2}}$. Given $\ell = 1 \, m$,the student commits an error of $\Delta \ell$. For $T$,the student measures the time of $n$ oscillations using a stopwatch with a least count of $\Delta T$ and commits a human error of $0.1 \, s$. For which of the following data will the measurement of $g$ be the most accurate?

The resistance of a wire is determined by measuring the current flowing through it and the voltage difference across its ends. If the percentage error in the measurement of current and voltage difference is $3\%$ each,what will be the percentage error in the resistance of the wire?
