The length of a cylinder is measured with a metre rod having least count $0.1 \;cm$. Its diameter is measured with vernier calipers having least count $0.01\; cm$. If the length and diameter of the cylinder are $5.0\; cm$ and $2.00\; cm$, respectively, then the percentage error in the calculated value of volume will be

The internal and external radii of a hollow cylinder are measured with the help of a vernier callipers.Their values are $(4.23 \pm 0.01)\,\,cm$ and $(3.87 \pm 0.01)\,\,cm,$ respectively. The thickness of the wall of the cylinder is

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)
