Two full turns of the circular scale of a screw gauge cover a distance of $1 \ mm$ on its main scale. The total number of divisions on the circular scale is $50$. Further,it is found that the screw gauge has a zero error of $-0.03 \ mm$. While measuring the diameter of a thin wire,a student notes the main scale reading of $3 \ mm$ and the number of circular scale divisions in line with the main scale as $35$. The diameter of the wire is ....... $mm$
- A$3.38$
- B$3.32$
- C$3.73$
- D$3.67$
