In a vernier callipers, one main scale division is x cm and n divisions of the vernier scale coincide with (n-1) divisions of the main scale. The least count (in cm) of the callipers is :-

Consider a Vernier callipers in which each 1cm on the main scale is divided into 8 equal divisions and a screw gauge with 100 divisions in its circular scale. In the Vernier callipers, 5 divisions of the Vernier scale coincide with 4 divisions on the scale and in the screw gauge, one complete rotation of the circular scale moves it by two divisions on the linear scale. Then :
