The error in measured length due to the incorrect holding of the chain is a compensating error.

And negative errors are caused in the chain when its length is more than the standard length.

So the answer is C.

Please explain both cumulative and compensating.

Ankit said:   9 years ago
I think the answer should be B.

If chain length is shorter than the original length then its -ve cumulative error in chaining. And if the length of the chain is longer then it's +ve cumulative error.

What is the difference between cumulative and compensate?

How to call the actual length if distance measured (300m)is given along with this same question?
