In a vernier calliper,when both jaws touch each other,the zero of the vernier scale shifts towards the left and its $4^{\text{th}}$ division coincides exactly with a certain division on the main scale. If $50$ vernier scale divisions $(VSD)$ are equal to $49$ main scale divisions $(MSD)$ and the zero error in the instrument is $0.04 \text{ mm}$,then how many main scale divisions are there in $1 \text{ cm}$?

$(B)$ Total divisions on the circular scale $= 50$.
$(C)$ Main scale reading is $2.5 \ mm$.
$(D)$ $45^{\text{th}}$ division of the circular scale is in the reference line.
$(E)$ Instrument has $0.03 \ mm$ negative zero error.
Then the diameter of the wire is: (in $mm$)

In a screw gauge,the fifth division of the circular scale coincides with the reference line when the ratchet is closed. There are $50$ divisions on the circular scale,and the main scale moves by $0.5 \, mm$ on a complete rotation. For a particular observation,the reading on the main scale is $5 \, mm$ and the $20^{th}$ division of the circular scale coincides with the reference line. Calculate the true reading in $mm$.

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 $0.005 \ mm$.
