According to Joule's law of heating, heat produced $H = {I^2}\,Rt$, where I is current, $R$ is resistance and $t$ is time. If the errors in the measurement of $I, R$ and t are $3\%, 4\% $ and $6\% $ respectively then error in the measurement of $H$ is

  • A

    $ \pm 17\%$

  • B

    $ \pm 16\%$

  • C

    $ \pm 19\%$

  • D

    $ \pm 25\%$
