Acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the earth is g = GMR2. The gravitational constant G is exactly known. But percentage error in measurement of the mass of earth M and radius of the earth R are 1% and 2%, respectively. The maximum percentage error in measurement of acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the earth is
