P. Used for routine calibration   Q. Realises the unit from its definition   R. Held in a laboratory and checked against the primary

  • A.1-Q, 2-R, 3-P
  • B.1-P, 2-R, 3-Q
  • C.1-R, 2-Q, 3-P
  • D.1-Q, 2-P, 3-R

Answer: A

Correct answer: 1-Q, 2-R, 3-P

The three levels form a chain of decreasing accuracy and increasing use. The primary standard realises the unit from its definition; the secondary is checked against it and held in the laboratory; and the working standard, checked in turn against the secondary, does the routine calibration. Each level protects the one above it from wear and handling.
