A physical quantity $P$ is related to four observables $a, b, c$ and $d$ as follows: $P=\frac{a^{2} b^{2}}{(\sqrt{c} d)}$ The percentage errors of measurement in $a, b, c$ and $d$ are $1 \%, 3 \%, 4 \%$ and $2 \%$ respectively. What is the percentage error in the quantity $P$ ? If the value of $P$ calculated using the above relation turns out to be $3.763,$ to what value should you round off the result?

$P=\frac{a^{3} b^{2}}{(\sqrt{c} d)}$
$\frac{\Delta P}{P}=\frac{3 \Delta a}{a}+\frac{2 \Delta b}{b}+\frac{1}{2} \frac{\Delta c}{c}+\frac{\Delta d}{d}$
$\left(\frac{\Delta P}{P} \times 100\right) \% $ $=\left(3 \times \frac{\Delta a}{a} \times 100+2 \times \frac{\Delta b}{b} \times 100+\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{\Delta c}{c} \times 100+\frac{\Delta d}{d} \times 100\right) \%$
$=3 \times 1+2 \times 3+\frac{1}{2} \times 4+2$
$=3+6+2+2=13 \%$
Percentage error in $P=13 \%$
Value of $P$ is given as $3.763$
By rounding off the given value to the first decimal place, we get $P=3.8$

A students measures the distance traversed in free fall of a body, the initially at rest, in a given time. He uses this data to estimate $g$ , the acceleration due to gravity . If the maximum percentage errors in measurement of the distance and the time are $e_1$ and $e_2$ respectively, the percentage error in the estimation of $g$ is
