1 cm on the main scale of a vernier callipers if divided into 10 equal parts. If 10 divisions on the vernier scale coincides with 8 small divisions the main scale, then the least count of the callipers is

A vernier callipers has 1 mm marks on the main scale. It has 20 equal divisions on the Vernier scale which match with 16 main scale divisions. For this vernier callipers, the least count is

Least count of a vernier callipers is 0.01 cm. When the two jaws are in touch with each other, the 5^(th) division of vernier scale coinciding with the main scale lies to the left of the zero of the main scale. Further more, while measuring the diameter of the sphere, the zero mark of the vernier lies in between 2.4 cm and 2.5 cm and ther 6^(th) vernier division coincides with a main scale division.

N divisions on the main scale of a vernier callipers coincide with (N + 1) divisions on the vernier scale. If each division on the main scale is 'a' units, then the least count of the instrument is

The diameter of a cylinder is measured using a vernier callipers with no zero error. It is found that zero of the vernier lies in between 5.10 cm and 5.15 cm of the main scale. The vernier has 50 divisions equivalent to 2.45 cm. The 24th division of the main scale exactly coincides with one of the main scale divisions. the diameter of the cylinder is

The main scale of vernier callipers has 10 equal divisions in 1 cm and 10 vernier scale divisions coincide with 9 main scale divisions, when both the jaws are in contact. Now, the above instrument is used to measure the external diameter of a cylinder. The 43rd division on the main scale is observed to the left of the zero of the vernier, when the object is held tightly in between the two jaws and the seventh division of the vernier coinsides with a division on the main scale, then
