In a screw gauge,$5$ complete rotations of the screw cause it to move a linear distance of $0.25\, cm$. There are $100$ circular scale divisions. The thickness of a wire measured by this screw gauge gives a reading of $4$ main scale divisions and $30$ circular scale divisions. Assuming negligible zero error,the thickness of the wire is (in $, cm$)

In a Vernier Calipers,$10$ divisions of the Vernier scale are equal to $9$ divisions of the main scale. When both jaws of the Vernier calipers touch each other,the zero of the Vernier scale is shifted to the left of the zero of the main scale,and the $4^{\text{th}}$ Vernier scale division exactly coincides with a main scale division. One main scale division is equal to $1\,mm$. While measuring the diameter of a spherical body,the body is held between the two jaws. It is observed that the zero of the Vernier scale lies between $30$ and $31$ divisions of the main scale,and the $6^{\text{th}}$ Vernier scale division exactly coincides with a main scale division. The diameter of the spherical body is $.......\,cm$.

$A$ travelling microscope has $20$ divisions per $cm$ on the main scale while its Vernier scale has total $50$ divisions and $25$ Vernier scale divisions are equal to $24$ main scale divisions. What is the least count of the travelling microscope in $cm$?

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion $(A)$ and the other is labelled as Reason $(R)$.
Assertion $(A)$: In a Vernier calliper, if a positive zero error exists, then while taking measurements, the reading taken will be more than the actual reading.
Reason $(R)$: The zero error in a Vernier calliper might have happened due to a manufacturing defect or due to rough handling.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Consider a Vernier callipers in which each $1 \ cm$ on the main scale is divided into $8$ equal divisions and a screw gauge with $100$ divisions on its circular scale. In the Vernier callipers,$5$ divisions of the Vernier scale coincide with $4$ divisions on the main scale and in the screw gauge,one complete rotation of the circular scale moves it by two divisions on the linear scale. Then:
$(A)$ If the pitch of the screw gauge is twice the least count of the Vernier callipers,the least count of the screw gauge is $0.01 \ mm$.
$(B)$ If the pitch of the screw gauge is twice the least count of the Vernier callipers,the least count of the screw gauge is $0.005 \ mm$.
$(C)$ If the least count of the linear scale of the screw gauge is twice the least count of the Vernier callipers,the least count of the screw gauge is $0.01 \ mm$.
$(D)$ If the least count of the linear scale of the screw gauge is twice the least count of the Vernier callipers,the least count of the screw gauge is $0.005 \ mm$.
