Young's modulus is determined by the equation given by \(Y =49000 \frac{ M }{ l } \frac{\text { dyne }}{ cm ^2}\) where \(M\) is the mass and \(l\) is the extension of wire used in the experiment. Now error in Young modulus \((Y)\) is estimated by taking data from \(M-l\) plot in graph paper. The smallest scale divisions are \(5 g\) and \(0.02 cm\) along load axis and extension axis respectively. If the value of \(M\) and \(l\) are \(500 g\) and \(2 cm\) respectively then percentage error of \(Y\) is :
