A meter scale is made up of steel and measures correct length at `16^@C`. What will be the percentage error if this scale is used (a) on a summer day when the temperature is `46^@C` and (b) on a winter day when the temperature is `6^@C`? Coefficient of linear expansion of steel `=11 xx 10^(-6 @)C^(-1)`.
