According to Joule's law of heating, heat produced $H = {I^2}\,Rt$, where I is current, $R$ is resistance and $t$ is time. If the errors in the measurement of $I, R$ and t are $3\%, 4\% $ and $6\% $ respectively then error in the measurement of $H$ is
  • A$ \pm 17\%$
  • B$ \pm 16\%$
  • C$ \pm 19\%$
  • D$ \pm 25\%$
