The density of a solid ball is to be determined in an experiment. The diameter of the ball is measured with a screw gauge,whose pitch is $0.5 \ mm$ and there are $50$ divisions on the circular scale. The reading on the main scale is $2.5 \ mm$ and that on the circular scale is $20$ divisions. If the measured mass of the ball has a relative error of $2 \%$,the relative percentage error in the density is (in $\%$)

  • A
    $0.9$
  • B
    $2.4$
  • C
    $3.1$
  • D
    $4.2$
