The diameter and height of a cylinder are measured by a meter scale to be $12.6 \pm 0.1\, cm$ and $34.2 \pm 0.1\, cm$, respectively. What will be the value of its volume in appropriate significant figures?

The density of a solid ball is to be determined in an experiment. The diameter of the ball is measured with a screw gauge, whose pitch is $0.5 \ mm$ and there are $50$ divisions on the circular scale. The reading on the main scale is $2.5 \ mm$ and that on the circular scale is $20$ divisions. If the measured mass of the ball has a relative error of $2 \%$, the relative percentage error in the density is
The length, breadth and thickness of a strip are $(10.0 \pm 0.1)\; cm ,(1.00 \pm 0.01) \;cm$ and $(0.100 \pm 0.001)\; cm$ respectively. The most probable error in its volume will be?
The dimensional formula for a physical quantity $x$ is $\left[ M ^{-1} L ^{3} T ^{-2}\right]$. The errors in measuring the quantities $M , L$ and $T$ respectively are $2 \%, 3 \%$ and $4 \%$. The maximum percentage of error that occurs in measuring the quantity $x$ is
