If the maximum percentage error in the measurement of distance $(h)$ and time $(t)$ are '$e_1$' and '$e_2$' respectively,the percentage error in the measurement of acceleration of gravity $(g)$ is [use $h=\frac{1}{2} gt^2$].

  • A
    $e_1+e_2$
  • B
    $e_1-2e_2$
  • C
    $e_2-e_1$
  • D
    $e_1+2e_2$
