There are $100$ divisions on the circular scale of a screw gauge of pitch $1 \,mm$. With no measuring quantity in between the jaws,the zero of the circular scale lies $5$ divisions below the reference line. The diameter of a wire is then measured using this screw gauge. It is found that $4$ linear scale divisions are clearly visible while $60$ divisions on the circular scale coincide with the reference line. The diameter of the wire is: (in $\,mm$)

  • A
    $4.65$
  • B
    $4.55$
  • C
    $4.60$
  • D
    $3.35$

$A$ vernier callipers used by a student has $20$ divisions in $1\;cm$ on the main scale. $10$ vernier divisions coincide with $9$ main scale divisions. When the jaws are closed,the zero of the main scale is to the left of the zero of the vernier scale,and the $6^{th}$ division of the vernier scale coincides with a main scale division. The student places a wooden cylinder between the jaws to measure its length. The zero of the vernier scale is to the right of the $3.20\;cm$ mark,and the $8^{th}$ vernier division coincides with a main scale division. When measuring the thickness (diameter) of the cylinder,the zero of the vernier scale lies to the right of the $1.50\;cm$ mark,and the $6^{th}$ vernier division coincides with a main scale division. The correct values of the measured length and diameter are respectively:

For the determination of the refractive index of a glass slab,a travelling microscope is used whose main scale contains $300$ equal divisions equal to $15 \ cm$. The vernier scale attached to the microscope has $25$ divisions equal to $24$ divisions of the main scale. The least count $(LC)$ of the travelling microscope is (in $cm$):

One main scale division of a Vernier calliper is equal to $1 \text{ mm}$ and the number of divisions on the Vernier scale is $10$. When both the jaws touch each other, the Vernier scale shifts to the left of zero of the main scale in such a way that $4^{th}$ Vernier division coincides with a division of the main scale. If the Vernier calliper measures the length of a wire to be $1 \text{ cm}$, the actual length of the wire is : (in $\text{ cm}$)

In a vernier callipers, $20$ $VSD$ coincide with $16$ $MSD$ (each division of length $1 \text{ mm}$). The least count of the vernier callipers is: (in $\text{ cm}$)
