Using a screw gauge with a pitch of $0.1 \ cm$ and $50$ divisions on its circular scale,the thickness of an object is measured. How should the measurement be correctly recorded (in $cm$)?

When the gap is closed without placing any object in a screw gauge whose least count is $0.005 \ mm$,the $5^{th}$ division on its circular scale coincides with the reference line on the main scale. When a small sphere is placed,the reading on the main scale advances by $4$ divisions,whereas the circular scale reading advances by five times the corresponding reading when no object was placed. There are $200$ divisions on the circular scale. The radius of the sphere is .......... $mm$.

The smallest division on the main scale of a vernier callipers is $1 \ mm$,and $10$ vernier divisions coincide with $9$ main scale divisions. While measuring the diameter of a sphere,the zero mark of the vernier scale lies between $2.0 \ cm$ and $2.1 \ cm$ of the main scale,and the fifth division of the vernier scale coincides with a main scale division. The diameter of the sphere is:

$N$ divisions on the main scale of a vernier calliper coincide with $(N + 1)$ divisions of the vernier scale. If each division of the main scale is $a$ units,then the least count of the instrument is:

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 $\text{ cm}$)

Which of the following is the most precise device for measuring length:
$A)$ a vernier callipers with $20$ divisions on the sliding scale
$B)$ a screw gauge of pitch $1 \; mm$ and $100$ divisions on the circular scale
$C)$ an optical instrument that can measure length to within a wavelength of light?
