उत्तर
Salim would get the most accurate length because he is using a 5 m long measuring tape which is longer than the table. So, he can measure the length of the table in one go accurately. While in the other cases the chance of making an error is higher due to multiple measurements. In case of Sam, only that lengths can be measured which are exact multiples of half a metre.
