The length of a cylinder is measured with a metre rod having least count $0.1 \;cm$. Its diameter is measured with vernier calipers having least count $0.01\; cm$. If the length and diameter of the cylinder are $5.0\; cm$ and $2.00\; cm$, respectively, then the percentage error in the calculated value of volume will be

  • A

    $2$

  • B

    $1$

  • C

    $3$

  • D

    $4$
