In a screw gauge, the zero of the circular scale lies $3$ divisions above the horizontal pitch line when their metallic studs are brought in contact. Using this instrument, the thickness of a sheet is measured. If the pitch scale reading is $1 \ mm$ and the circular scale reading is $51$, then the correct thickness of the sheet is . . . . . . $mm$. [Assume least count is $0.01 \ mm$]

  • A
    $1.50$
  • B
    $1.48$
  • C
    $1.54$
  • D
    $1.51$
