(B) Given that $50$ divisions of the vernier scale $(VSD)$ are equal to $49$ divisions of the main scale $(MSD)$.First,we find the value of one main scale division $(MSD)$: $MSD = 7.05 \; cm - 7.00 \; cm = 0.05 \; cm$.The least count $(LC)$ of the vernier calliper is defined as $LC = 1 \; MSD - 1 \; VSD$.Since $50 \; VSD = 49 \; MSD$,we have $1 \; VSD = \frac{49}{50} \; MSD = 0.98 \; MSD$.Therefore,$LC = 1 \; MSD - 0.98 \; MSD = 0.02 \; MSD$.Substituting the value of $MSD$: $LC = 0.02 	imes 0.05 \; cm = 0.001 \; cm$.The main scale reading $(MSR)$ is the mark just before the vernier zero,which is $7.00 \; cm$.The vernier scale reading $(VSR)$ is the coinciding division multiplied by the least count: $VSR = 23 	imes 0.001 \; cm = 0.023 \; cm$.The total measured thickness is $MSR + VSR = 7.00 \; cm + 0.023 \; cm = 7.023 \; cm$.

The least count of a screw gauge is $0.01 \ mm$. If the pitch is increased by $75\%$ and the number of divisions on the circular scale is reduced by $50\%$,the new least count will be . . . . . . $\times 10^{-3} \ mm$.

In a vernier callipers,each $cm$ on the main scale is divided into $20$ equal parts. If the $10^{th}$ vernier scale division coincides with the $9^{th}$ main scale division,then the value of the vernier constant will be $\dots \; \times 10^{-2} \; mm$.
