Answer 2

Answer: Third Option is correct.

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 :

`(Error)/(Original)* 100\\\\=(1.25)/(45.5)* 100\\\\=2.74\%\\\\=2.7\%`

Hence, Third Option is correct.
