Q9. The accuracy of an Electronic Distance Measuring Instrument (EDMI) is specified as ± (a mm + b ppm). Which one of the following statements is correct?
Answer : Option B
Explaination / Solution:

Accuracy of EDMI is generally stated in terms of constant instrument error and measuring error proportional to distance being measured. ± (a mm + b ppm) The first part in this expression indicates a constant instrument error that is independent of length of line measured. Second component is distance related error.
