Measurement and Instrumentation
The total current I = I1 + I2 in a circuit is measured I1 = 150 ± 3A , I2 = 250 ± 4 A, where the limits of error are given as standard deviations. I is measured as

 (400 ±5) A
 (400 ± 2.24) A
 (400 ± 3) A
 (400 ± 1) A

Measurement and Instrumentation
A resistance is measured by the voltmeter-ammeter method employing dc excitation and a voltmeter of very high resistance connected directly across the unknown resistance. If the voltmeter and ammeter reading are subject to maximum possible errors of ± 2.4 % and ± 1.0 % respectively, then the magnitude of the maximum possible percentage error in the value of resistance deduced from the measurement is nearly

 ± 1%
 ± 2.4%
 ± 1.4%
 ± 3.4%
