The mean time period of second's pendulum is 2.00s and mean absolute error in the time period is 0.05s. To express maximum estimate of error, the time period should be written as

(1) (2.00 ± 0.01) s

(2) (2.00 + 0.025) s

(3) (2.00 ± 0.05) s

(4) (2.00 ± 0.10) s

A body travels uniformly a distance of (13.8 $\pm$ 0.2) m in a time (4.0 ± 0.3) sec. The velocity of the body within error limits is:

1. (3.45 ± 0.2) ms^-1

2. (3.45 ± 0.3) ms^-1

3. (3.45 ± 0.4) ms^-1

4. (3.45 ± 0.5) ms^-1

The unit of percentage error is

(1) Same as that of physical quantity

(2) Different from that of physical quantity

(3) Percentage error is unit less

(4) Errors have got their own units which are different from that of physical quantity measured

The decimal equivalent of \(\frac{1}{20} \) up to three significant figures is:

Accuracy of measurement is determined by

(1) Absolute error

(2) Percentage error

(3) Both

(4) None of these
