Young's modulus is determined by the equation given by 
where 
is the mass and 
is the extension of wire used in the experiment. Now error in Young modules(Y) is estimated by taking data from 
plot in graph paper. The smallest scale divisions are 
and 0.02 
along load axis and extension axis respectively. If the value of 
and 
are 
and 
respectively then percentage error of 
is:
A
