$A$ physical quantity $X$ is related to four measurable quantities $a, b, c$ and $d$ as follows: $X = a^2b^3c^{\frac{5}{2}}d^{-2}$. The percentage errors in the measurement of $a, b, c$ and $d$ are $1\%$,$2\%$,$3\%$ and $4\%$ respectively. What is the percentage error in quantity $X$? If the value of $X$ calculated on the basis of the above relation is $2.763$,to what value should you round off the result?
