Consider a Vernier callipers in which each `1cm` on the main scale is divided into `8` equal divisions and a screw gauge with `100` divisions in its circular scale. In the Vernier callipers, `5` divisions of the Vernier scale coincide with `4` divisions on the scale and in the screw gauge, one complete rotation of the circular scale moves it by two divisions on the linear scale. Then :

A

If the pitch of the screw gauge is twice the least count of the Vernier callipers, the least count of the screw gauge is 0.01 mm.

B

If the pitch of the screw gauge is twice the least count of the Vernier callipers, the least count of the screw gauge is 0.005 mm.

C

If the least count of the linear scale of the screw gauge is twice the least count of the Vernier callipers, the least ount of the screw gauge is 0.01 mm.

D

If the least count of the linear scale of the screw gauge is twice the least count of the Vernier callipers, the least count of the screw gauge is 0.005 mm.
