Answer» : option (B) error explanation : here two confusing words are appeared. i.e.,“ error ” and “mistake” it seems, both are same in meaning. yes of course, these are SYNONYMOUS of each other. but their meaning are slightly different. An ‘error’ is nothing but deviation from accuracy or correctness.i.e., error = true value - MEASURED value it maybe either negative or positive.but A ‘mistake’ is an error CAUSED by fault.so, above DEFINITION cleared your doubts, didn't it ? now you can easily SAY , The difference between the true value and measured value is called error |
