$A$ balance is made using a uniform metre scale of mass $100 \ g$ and two plates each of mass $200 \ g$ fixed at the two ends of the scale. The balance is pivoted at the $45 \ cm$ mark. If a $300 \ g$ weight is placed in the plate at $0 \ cm$ to weigh vegetables placed in the plate at $100 \ cm$,what is the error in the measurement (in $g$)?

  • A
    $36.4$
  • B
    $63.6$
  • C
    $200$
  • D
    $100$
