The density of a solid metal sphere is determined by measuring its mass and its diameter. The maximum error in the density of the sphere is $\left(\frac{x}{100}\right) \%$. If the relative errors in measuring the mass and the diameter are $6.0 \%$ and $1.5 \%$ respectively,the value of $x$ is

  • A
    $1000$
  • B
    $1075$
  • C
    $1060$
  • D
    $1050$
