During Searle's experiment,the zero of the Vernier scale lies between $3.20 \times 10^{-2} \text{ m}$ and $3.25 \times 10^{-2} \text{ m}$ of the main scale. The $20^{\text{th}}$ division of the Vernier scale exactly coincides with one of the main scale divisions. When an additional load of $2 \text{ kg}$ is applied to the wire,the zero of the Vernier scale still lies between $3.20 \times 10^{-2} \text{ m}$ and $3.25 \times 10^{-2} \text{ m}$ of the main scale,but now the $45^{\text{th}}$ division of the Vernier scale coincides with one of the main scale divisions. The length of the thin metallic wire is $2 \text{ m}$ and its cross-sectional area is $8 \times 10^{-7} \text{ m}^2$. The least count of the Vernier scale is $1.0 \times 10^{-5} \text{ m}$. The maximum percentage error in the Young's modulus of the wire is:
