Answer: If an instrument is not reliable then it is valid if it is measuring the right thing but in an inconsistent manner

Step-by-step explanation:

An instrument can be reliable but not valid if the measurement is taking place in a consistent manner but not measuring the right thing. Similarly it goes the other way round.
