Two resistances of $400$ $\Omega$ and $800$ $\Omega$ are connected in series with $6\, volt$ battery of negligible internal resistance. A voltmeter of resistance $10,000$ $\Omega$ is used to measure the potential difference across $400$ $\Omega$. The error in the measurement of potential difference in volts approximately is
  • A$0.01$
  • B$0.02$
  • C$0.03$
  • D$0.05$
