Detailed Solution

Given time period of simple pendulum

$t = 2 π \sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}, \frac{δ l}{l} \times 100 = 1$

$\log t = \log \frac{2 π}{\sqrt{g}} \sqrt{l} = \log \frac{(2 π)}{\sqrt{g}} + \frac{1}{2} \log l$

Take differential on both sides

$\frac{Δ t}{t} ≅ \frac{1}{2} \frac{Δ l}{l} \Rightarrow \frac{Δ t}{t} \times 100$

$= \frac{1}{2} (\frac{Δ l}{l} \times 100) = \frac{1}{2} (1) ≅ \frac{1}{2} ∴ \frac{Δ t}{t} \times 100 ≅ \frac{1}{2}$
