The density of a solid metal sphere is determined by measuring its mass and its diameter. The maximum error in the density of the sphere is $\left(\frac{x}{100}\right) \% .$ If the relative errors in measuring the mass and the diameter are $6.0 \%$ and $1.5 \%$ respectively, the value of $x$ is

The time period of a simple pendulum is given by $T =2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{\ell}{ g }}$. The measured value of the length of pendulum is $10\, cm$ known to a $1\, mm$ accuracy. The time for $200$ oscillations of the pendulum is found to be $100$ second using a clock of $1s$ resolution. The percentage accuracy in the determination of $'g'$ using this pendulum is $'x'$. The value of $'x'$ to the nearest integer is ...........$\%$
