AI Generated Solution

To find the least count of the microscope, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the relationship between the main scale and the vernier scale. The problem states that 50 divisions of the vernier scale are equal to 49 divisions of the main scale. ### Step 2: Calculate the value of one vernier scale division (VSD). We can express this relationship mathematically: \[ ...
