Measurement and Instrumentation
Assertion (A) : It is always desirable to take the reading of an indicating instrument very close to the full scale reading. Reason (R) : Accuracy of an indicating instrument is maximum at the full scale deflection and error increases as reading comes closer to the beginning of the scale.

 Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
 A is true but R is false
 Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A

Measurement and Instrumentation
A resistance is measured by the voltmeter-ammeter method employing dc excitation and a voltmeter of very high resistance connected directly across the unknown resistance. If the voltmeter and ammeter reading are subject to maximum possible errors of ± 2.4 % and ± 1.0 % respectively, then the magnitude of the maximum possible percentage error in the value of resistance deduced from the measurement is nearly

 ± 3.4%
 ± 2.4%
 ± 1.4%
 ± 1%
