In a simple pendulum experiment for determination of acceleration due to gravity $(g)$, time taken for $20$ oscillations is measured by using a watch of $1\,s$ least count. The mean value of time taken comes out to be $30\,s$. The length of the pendulum is measured by using a meter scale of least count $1\,mm$ and the value obtained is $55.0\,cm$. The percentage error in the determination of $g$ is close to ........... $\%$

  • A
    $0.7$
  • B
    $3.5$
  • C
    $6.8$
  • D
    $0.2$
