Question

The radius $(\mathrm{r})$, length $(l)$ and resistance $(\mathrm{R})$ of a metal wire was measured in the laboratory as

$$ \begin{aligned} & \mathrm{r}=(0.35 \pm 0.05) ~\mathrm{cm} \\\\ & \mathrm{R}=(100 \pm 10) ~\mathrm{ohm} \\\\ & l=(15 \pm 0.2)~ \mathrm{cm} \end{aligned} $$

The percentage error in resistivity of the material of the wire is :

$37.3 \%$

$25.6 \%$

$35.6 \%$

$39.9 \%$
