The error in measurement may occur due to_________________?
Correct answer: D. Due to all reasons in A, B and C
- A. The inexperience of a person
- B. The faulty apprentice
- C. Inappropriate method
- D. Due to all reasons in A, B and C
Explanation
Inexperience, faulty apparatus, and an inappropriate method can all produce a difference between a measured value and the accepted value. Hence all listed reasons are possible; students may choose c because method-related error is the most directly stated scientific cause.

About Displacement and Velocity
Displacement is the directed change in position, while velocity is the rate of change of displacement and includes both magnitude and direction. The topic connects position-time and velocity-time graphs with average and instantaneous values, and distinguishes displacement from distance and velocity from speed.
