A voltmeter having least count 0.1 V and an ammeter having least count 0.2 A are used to measure the potentail difference across the ends of a wire and current flowing through the wire respectively. If the reading of voltmeter is 4.4 V and reading of ammeter is 2.2 A, then find (i) the resistance of wire with maximum permissible error and (ii) maximum percentage error.
