Young's modulus is determined by the equation given by $\mathrm{Y}=49000 \frac{\mathrm{m}}{\mathrm{l}} \frac{\mathrm{dyn}}{\mathrm{cm}^2}$ where $M$ is the mass and $l$ is the extension of wire used in the experiment. Now error in Young modules $(Y)$ is estimated by taking data from $M-l$ plot in graph paper. The smallest scale divisions are $5 \mathrm{~g}$ and $0.02 \mathrm{~cm}$ along load axis and extension axis respectively. If the value of $M$ and $l$ are $500 \mathrm{~g}$ and $2 \mathrm{~cm}$ respectively then percentage error of $Y$ is :
