Match the type of error with its characteristic or cause.

List - I

List - II

(P) Systematic Error

(1) Can be minimized by taking multiple readings and averaging

(Q) Random Error

(2) Arises from the resolution limit of the measuring instrument

(R) Least Count Error

(3) Occurs due to faulty calibration or incorrect experimental setup

(S) Parallax Error

(4) Caused by improper positioning of the eye while taking a reading

Options:

Answer:
A
Solution:

Systematic errors are reproducible inaccuracies due to faulty apparatus or method (P-3). Random errors are unpredictable and can be reduced by averaging multiple readings (Q-1). Least count error is due to the instrument's resolution (R-2). Parallax error occurs due to incorrect eye position (S-4).
