Measurement and Error

A physical quantity x is being calculated by measuring y and z and using the formula x = y .z. .In a particular set of values, the value of y is measured with an error + 10%, whereas the value of z is measured with an error of +10%. For this particular set of values the error in the calculation of x will be

In a simple pendulum experiment the percentage errors in the measurement of g and l are alpha% and beta% respectively then the maximum error in measuring T wil be "________"

A : The maximum possible error in a reading is taken as least count of the measuring instrument. R : Error in a measurement cannot be greater than least count of the measuring instrument.
