Young's modulus is determined by the equation $Y = 49000 \frac{M}{\ell} \text{ dyne/cm}^2$,where $M$ is the mass and $\ell$ is the extension of the wire used in the experiment. The error in Young's modulus $(Y)$ is estimated by taking data from the $M-\ell$ plot on graph paper. The smallest scale divisions are $5 \text{ g}$ and $0.02 \text{ cm}$ along the load axis and extension axis,respectively. If the values of $M$ and $\ell$ are $500 \text{ g}$ and $2 \text{ cm}$ respectively,then the percentage error of $Y$ is: (in $\%$)

The energy of a system is given as $E(t) = \alpha^3 e^{-\beta t}$,where $t$ is the time and $\beta = 0.3 \ s^{-1}$. The errors in the measurement of $\alpha$ and $t$ are $1.2 \%$ and $1.6 \%$,respectively. At $t = 5 \ s$,the maximum percentage error in the energy is: (in $\%$)

$A$ physical quantity $Q$ is found to depend on observables $x, y$ and $z$,obeying the relation $Q = \frac{x^3 y^2}{z}$. The percentage errors in the measurements of $x, y$ and $z$ are $1\%, 2\%$ and $4\%$ respectively. What is the percentage error in the quantity $Q$ (in $\%$)?

$A$ physical quantity $Q$ is found to depend on quantities $a, b, c$ by the relation $Q = \frac{a^4 b^3}{c^2}$. The percentage errors in $a, b,$ and $c$ are $3 \%, 4 \%,$ and $5 \%$ respectively. Then,the percentage error in $Q$ is: (in $\%$)
