What is vernier constant?

STATEMENT 1 meter of a cylinder measured using a Vernier caliper is more accurate than that measure using a meter scale STATEMENT-2 Least count of vernier calliper is in ser than least count of a meter scale.

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

During Searle's experiment, zero of the Vernier sacle lies between 3.20 xx 10^(-2), and 3.25 xx 10^(-2)m of the main scale. The 20^(th) division of the Vernier scale exactly coincides with one of the main scale divisions. When an additional load of 2kg is applied to the wire, the zero of the vernier scale still lies between 3.20 xx 10^(-2), and 3.25 xx 10^(-2)m of the main scale but now the 45^(th) division of Vernier scale coincide with one of the main scale divisions. the length of the thin metallic wire is 2m and its cross-sectional ares is 8 xx 10^(-7)m^(2) . the least count of the Vernier scale is 1.0 xx 10^(-5)m . the maximum percentage error in the Young's modulus of the wire is
