Question

'Each measuring instrument has a limit of accuracy'. Comment on the statement.
Short Note

Solution

Accuracy is the extent to which a reported measurement approaches the true value of the quantity measured. This extent is usually described by the least count of the instrument and since the least count for a given instrument is limited hence, the accuracy of the instrument is limited.
