Consider the diameter of a spherical object being measured with the help of a Vernier callipers. Suppose its $10$ Vernier Scale Divisions $(V.S.D.)$ are equal to its $9$ Main Scale Divisions $(M.S.D.)$. The least division on the $M.S.$ is $0.1 \ cm$ and the zero of $V.S.$ is at $x=0.1 \ cm$ when the jaws of the Vernier callipers are closed. If the main scale reading for the diameter is $M=5 \ cm$ and the number of the coinciding vernier division is $8$,the measured diameter after zero error correction is: (in $cm$)

The one division of main scale of vernier callipers reads $1\,mm$ and $10$ divisions of Vernier scale is equal to the $9$ divisions on main scale. When the two jaws of the instrument touch each other the $zero$ of the Vernier lies to the right of $zero$ of the main scale and its fourth division coincides with a main scale division. When a spherical bob is tightly placed between the two jaws,the $zero$ of the Vernier scale lies in between $4.1\,cm$ and $4.2\,cm$ and $6^{\text{th}}$ Vernier division coincides with a main scale division. The diameter of the bob will be $.............10^{-2}\,cm$

$A$ student measured the length of a rod and wrote it as $3.50\;cm$. Which instrument did he use to measure it?

Thickness of a pencil measured by a screw gauge (least count $0.001 \ cm$) comes out to be $0.802 \ cm$. The percentage error in the measurement is (in $\%$)

$A$ screw gauge with a pitch of $0.5 \ mm$ and a circular scale with $50$ divisions is used to measure the thickness of a thin sheet of Aluminium. Before starting the measurement,it is found that when the two jaws of the screw gauge are brought in contact,the $45^{th}$ division coincides with the main scale line and the zero of the main scale is barely visible. What is the thickness of the sheet (in $mm$) if the main scale reading is $0.5 \ mm$ and the $25^{th}$ division coincides with the main scale line?
