The least count of a stop watch is $\frac{1}{5}$ second. The time of $20$ oscillations of a pendulum is measured to be $25$ seconds. The maximum percentage error ig the measurement of time will be ..... $\%$

A

$0.1$

B

$0.8$

C

$1.8$

D

$8$

Solution

(b)

Least count $=\Delta T=\frac{1}{5} s =0.2 \,s$

$T=25 \,s$

Percentage error $=\frac{\Delta T}{T} \times 100 \%=\frac{0.2}{25} \times 100 \%=0.8 \%$
