Students $I$, $II$ and $III$ perform an experiment for measuring the acceleration due to gravity $(g)$ using a simple pendulum.
They use different lengths of the pendulum and /or record time for different number of oscillations. The observations are shown in the table.

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
