He placed a wooden cylinder in between the jaws and measure the length. The zero of vernier scale is on right of `3.2 cm` mark of main division and `8th` division of vernier scale with any main scale division. When he measures diameter of cylinder he finds that zero of vernier scale lies on right of `1.5 cm` mark of main scale and `6th` division of vernier scale coincides with any main scale division.
