The following observations were taken for dtermining the surface tension of water by capillary tube method: diameter of capillary , `D = 1.25 xx 10^(-2) m` and rise of water in capillary , `h = 1.45 xx 10^(-2) m`. Taking ` g = 9.80 m s^(-2)` and using the relation `T = ( r gh//2) xx 10^(3) N m^(-1)`, what is the possible error in measurement of surface tension `T`?
(a) `2.4%` (b) `15%` (c) `1.6%` (d) 0.15%`
