Ghansham,
It is usually one, but "more common formulation for Mercator is to
drop the +k_0, and instead to provide a latitude of true scale using
the +lat_ts parameter, which is the latitude at which the scale is 1."
The latter would be using the standard_parallel version instead.
See

hope this helps
