Answer Posted / naresh

ACCURACY is the degree of closeness of measured value to the true value


PRECISION getting the same result for same inputs for n number of iterations

an instrument may not be accurate but precise. i.e it may not give the correct value but it will give the same answer when same inputs are processed
