Assertion (A): A class 1.0 instrument should be read in the upper part of its range.

Reason (R): Its error is specified as a percentage of full scale.

Select the correct option.

  • A.A is false but R is true, such an instrument being best read at low deflection
  • B.Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A
  • C.Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A at all
  • D.A is true but R is false, the error being a percentage of the reading

Answer: B

Correct answer: Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A

Both are true and the reason gives the mechanism. The class figure fixes the permitted error as a fraction of full scale, so it is a constant number of volts or amperes wherever the pointer sits. Expressed as a fraction of the reading it therefore grows as the deflection falls - 1 per cent at full scale, 5 per cent at a fifth of it.
