An experiment measures quantities $a, b$ and $c$, and quantity $X$ is calculated from $X=a b^{2} / c^{3}$. If the percentage error in $a$, $b$ and $c$ are $\pm 1 \%, \pm 3 \%$ and $\pm 2 \%$, respectively, then the percentage error in $X$ will be
  • A$\pm 13\%$
  • B$\pm 7\%$
  • C$\pm 4\%$
  • D$\pm 1\%$
