One centimetre on the main scale of vernier callipers is divided into ten equal parts. If 10 divisions of vernier scale coincide with 8 small divisions of the main scale, the least count of the callipers is

A

0.01 cm

B

0.02 cm

C

0.05 cm

D

0.005 cm

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
L.C = `((b-a)/(b))M= ((10-8)/(10))xx (1)/(10)` cm = 0.02 cm
