Verified answer
Answer:
The correct statement is:
(3) Both (1) and (II)
Statement I is correct because a vernier caliper is more precise than a meter scale due to its ability to measure with higher accuracy.
Statement II is also correct because a lower value of the least count in an instrument results in less error. A smaller least count allows for more precise measurements, reducing the potential for errors.
Answer:
option A is correct
Explanation:
lower value of least count of an instrument result in less error
