Answer 1

Answer: Third Option is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Width of a garden plot = 44.25 meters

Actual width = 45.5 meters

Error between them is given by

$45.5-44.25=1.25\ meters$

Percentage of error in the measurement :

$\frac{Error}{Original}\times 100\\\\=\frac{1.25}{45.5}\times 100\\\\=2.74\%\\\\=2.7\%$

Hence, Third Option is correct.
