A student measure the distance traversed in freely fall of a body initially at rest in a given time. He uses this date to estimate the acceleration due to gravity (g). If the maximum percentage error in measurement of the distance and the time are `e_1 and e_2` respectively. The percent age error in the estimation of g is

A

`e_(1) + 2e_(2) `

B

`e_(1) + e_(2)`

C

`e_(1) - 2e_(2)`

D

`e_(2) - e_(1)`
