In the measurement of a physical quantity $X = \frac{A^2 B}{C^{1/3} D^3}$, the percentage errors introduced in the measurements of the quantities $A, B, C$, and $D$ are $2 \%, 2 \%, 4 \%$, and $5 \%$, respectively. Then, the minimum amount of percentage error in the measurement of $X$ is contributed by:

$A$ wooden cubical block of mass $m = 20 \text{ kg}$ is measured within an error of $10 \text{ g}$. Its side length $l = 100 \text{ cm}$ is measured within an error of $1 \text{ mm}$. Then, the relative error in the measurement of its density is

We can reduce random errors by
