Select the incorrect statement.

A

If the zero of vernier scale does not coincide with the zero of the main scale, then the vernier callipers is said to be having zero error.

B

Zero correction has a magnitude equal to zero error but sign is opposite yo that of zero error.

C

Zero error is positive when the zero of vernier scale lies to the left of the zero of the main scale.

D

Zero error is negative when the zero of vernier scale lies to the zero of the main scale.
