Explanation:

Answer 2

Least count is the smallest measurement that can be made using the given instrument​.

• In units and dimensions, the smallest value that can be measured accurately by an instrument is termed its least count.
• It is a very significant parameter of any measuring instrument.
• The lower the least count of the instrument, the higher is its precision.
• Similarly, accuracy also inversely varies with the least count.
