The diameter of a wire measured by a screw gauge of least count $0.001 \text{ cm}$ is $0.08 \text{ cm}$. The length measured by a scale of least count $0.1 \text{ cm}$ is $150 \text{ cm}$. When a weight of $100 \text{ N}$ is applied to the wire, the extension in length is $0.5 \text{ cm}$, measured by a micrometer of least count $0.001 \text{ cm}$. The error in the measured Young's modulus is $\alpha \times 10^9 \text{ N/m}^2$. The value of $\alpha$ is . . . . . . . (Ignore the contribution of the load to Young's modulus error calculation)

  • A
    $1.3$
  • B
    $1.65$
  • C
    $0.13$
  • D
    $0.25$
