Thanks, that correction seems to nail it!
One Q - the instrument (say vernier calipers) was used to measure diameter and radius is just half of diameter; then why do we halve the error? Shouldn't the uncertainty remain same ?

The surface tension (T) is measured by capillary rise formula T = \frac {rh ρg}{2 cos\Theta} . The quantities of ρ, g and θ are taken from the table of constants while the height and diameter are measured as
h = (3.00 + 0.01)cm and
D = (0.250 ± 0.001)cm
