10. Which of the following statement is correct ?

The error in measured length due to bad ranging is compensating error.

If the chain used in measuring a distance is too short, the error is positive error.

The error in measured length due to careless holding of chain is cumulative error.

When the pull applied while measuring with a tape, is more than the standard tape, the error in measured length is positive.

Answer: If the chain used in measuring a distance is too short, the error is positive error.
