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

A
