A physical quantity $'x'$ is calculated from the relation $x = \frac{{{a^2}{b^3}}}{{c\sqrt d }}$ in $a$,$b$,$c$ and $d$ are $2\%$, $1 \%$, $3\%$ and $4\%$ respectively, what is the percentage error in $x$.

$Assertion$ : When percentage errors in the measurement of mass and velocity are $1\%$ and $2\%$ respectively, the percentage error in $K.E.$ is $5\%$.

$Reason$ : $\frac{{\Delta E}}{E} = \frac{{\Delta m}}{m} + \frac{{2\Delta v}}{v}$

A physical parameter a can be determined by measuring the parameters $b, c, d $ and $e $ using the relation $a =$ ${b^\alpha }{c^\beta }/{d^\gamma }{e^\delta }$. If the maximum errors in the measurement of $b, c, d$ and e are ${b_1}\%$, ${c_1}\%$, ${d_1}\%$ and ${e_1}\%$, then the maximum error in the value of a determined by the experiment is
