We measure the period of oscillation of a simple pendulum. In successive measurements, the readings turn out to be \(2.63~\text s, 2.56~\text s, 2.42~\text s, 2.71~\text s,\) and \(2.80~\text s.\) The average absolute error and percentage error, respectively, are:
1. \(0.22~\text s\) and \(4\%\)
2. \(0.11~\text s\) and \(4\%\)
3. \(4~\text s\) and \(0.11\%\)
4. \(5~\text s\) and \(0.22\%\)

A screw gauge gives the following readings when used to measure the diameter of a wire:
Main scale reading: \(0\) mm
Circular scale reading: \(52\) divisions 
Given that \(1\) mm on the main scale corresponds to \(100\) divisions on the circular scale, the diameter of the wire that can be inferred from the given data is:

1. \(0.26\) cm 2. \(0.052\) cm
3. \(0.52\) cm 4. \(0.026\) cm

1. \( 0.04 \)
2. \( 0.4 \)
3. \( 40 \)
4. \(400\)

On the basis of dimensions, decide which of the following relations for the displacement of a particle undergoing simple harmonic motion is/are not correct.

(a)  \(y = a\sin \left(2\pi t / T\right)\)
(b)  \(y = a\sin(vt)\)
(c)  \(y = \left({\dfrac a T}\right) \sin \left({\dfrac t a}\right)\)
(d)  \(y = a \sqrt 2 \left(\sin \left({\dfrac {2 \pi t} T}\right) - \cos \left({\dfrac {2 \pi t} T}\right)\right)\)

(Symbols have their usual meanings.)
Choose the correct option:

1. (a), (c)
2. (a), (b)
3. (b), (c)
4. (a), (d)
