Two resistances of $400 \Omega$ and $800 \Omega$ are connected in series with a $6 \text{ V}$ battery of negligible internal resistance. $A$ voltmeter of resistance $10000 \Omega$ is used to measure the potential difference across the $400 \Omega$ resistor. The error in the measurement of potential difference in volts is approximately:

  • A
    $(a)$ $0.01$
  • B
    $(b)$ $0.02$
  • C
    $(c)$ $0.03$
  • D
    $(d)$ $0.05$
