Question

Suppose you had to make some measurement and the only scale you had broke off. Think whether while using a meter/centimeter scale, it is okay to take measurements from some mark other than zero.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

It is completely fine to choose any other mark. Just subtract of the reading of this mark from the reading at other end. For example if you choose '1' as the starting mark and the measurement comes out be '13' you should subtract 1 from 13.
