$A$ $2\,m$ long scale with a least count of $0.2\,cm$ is used to measure the locations of objects on an optical bench. While measuring the focal length of a convex lens, the object pin and the convex lens are placed at $80\,cm$ mark and $1\,m$ mark, respectively. The image of the object pin on the other side of the lens coincides with the image pin that is kept at $180\,cm$ mark. The $\%$ error in the estimation of focal length is
