The length of a rod is measured by a meter scale having a least count of $0.1 \text{ cm}$ and the diameter is measured by vernier callipers having a least count of $0.01 \text{ cm}$. The length of the rod is $5.0 \text{ cm}$ and the radius is $2.0 \text{ cm}$. The percentage error in the calculated value of the volume is: (in $\%$)

  • A
    $1$
  • B
    $2$
  • C
    $5$
  • D
    $7$
