An optical bench has $1.5 m$ long scale having four equal divisions in each $cm$. While measuring the focal length of a convex lens, the lens is kept at $75 cm$ mark of the scale and the object pin is kept at $45 cm$ mark. The image of the object pin on the other side of the lens overlaps with image pin that is kept at $135 cm$ mark. In this experiment, the percentage error in the measurement of the focal length of the lens is. . . . .
