$B =-\frac{\Delta P }{\frac{\Delta V }{ V }}$

$\left|\frac{\Delta V }{ V }\right|=\frac{\Delta P }{ B }$

$=\frac{4 \times 10^{9}}{8 \times 10^{10}}=\frac{1}{20}$

$\frac{\Delta \ell}{\ell}=\frac{1}{3} \times \frac{\Delta V }{ V }=\frac{1}{60}$

Percentage change $=\frac{\Delta \ell}{\ell} \times 100 \%$

$=\frac{100}{60} \%=1.67 \%$
