The least count of vernier callipers is ...

The least count of vernier callipers is 0.001 cm. If the number of division in vernier is 50. Then, the value of one division of main scale is

A

0.1 cm

B

0.5 cm

C

0.05 cm

D

0.02 cm

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Least count ` = ("The value of one division main scale")/("The number of division in vernier")`
` rArr 0.001 = (x)/(50) rArr x = 50 xx 0.001`
` therefore x = 0.05cm`
