An optical bench has $1.5 \mathrm{~m}$ long scale having four equal divisions in each $\mathrm{cm}$. While measuring the focal length of a convex lens, the lens is kept at $75 \mathrm{~cm}$ mark of the scale and the object pin is kept at $45 \mathrm{~cm}$ mark. The image of the object pin on the other side of the lens overlaps with image pin that is kept at $135 \mathrm{~cm}$ mark. In this experiment, what is the percentage error in the measurement of the focal length of the lens?
