The length $l$,breadth $b$,and thickness $t$ of a block of wood were measured with the help of a measuring scale. The results with permissible errors are $l = 15.12 \pm 0.01 \; cm$,$b = 10.15 \pm 0.01 \; cm$,and $t = 5.28 \pm 0.01 \; cm$. The percentage error in volume up to proper significant figures is: (in $\%$)

  • A
    $0.28$
  • B
    $0.36$
  • C
    $0.48$
  • D
    $0.64$

In an experiment to determine the acceleration due to gravity $g$,the formula used for the time period of a periodic motion is $T=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{7(R-r)}{5 g}}$. The values of $R$ and $r$ are measured to be $(60 \pm 1) \text{ mm}$ and $(10 \pm 1) \text{ mm}$,respectively. In five successive measurements,the time period is found to be $0.52 \text{ s}, 0.56 \text{ s}, 0.57 \text{ s}, 0.54 \text{ s}$ and $0.59 \text{ s}$. The least count of the watch used for the measurement of time period is $0.01 \text{ s}$. Which of the following statement$(s)$ is(are) true?
$(A)$ The error in the measurement of $r$ is $10 \%$
