What is the least measurement of a vernier calliper?

Define the least count of a vernier calliper.

Out of the following three devices, the one which is more accurate to measure length is ( i ) a meter rod ( ii ) a vernier callipers with least count 0.01cm ( iii ) a screw gauge with a pitch 0.5mm having number of divisions on the circular scale as 100

The length of a rectangular plate is measured by a meter scale and is found to be 10.0 cm . Its width is measured by vernier callipers as 1.00 cm . The least count of the meter scale and vernier calipers are 0.1 cm and 0.01 cm respectively. Maximum permissibe error in area measurement is.

To calculate the volume of cylinder, a student is given a metre scale of least count 1 mm to measure its length and vernier callipers of least count 0.1 mm to measure its diameter. If its length and radius are 10 cm and 2 cm respectively then the percentage error in the calculated value of the volume of the cylinder will be
