A student measures the time period of $100$ oscillations of a simple pendulum four times. The data set is  $90\;s$ ,$91\;s $, $95\;s$ and $92\;s$. If the minimum division in the  measuring clock is $1\;s$, then the reported mean time should be
  • A$92\pm 2\;s$
  • B$92\pm 3\;s$ 
  • C$92\pm 1.8\;s$ 
  • D$92\pm 5\;s$

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

    $(A)$ If the pitch of the screw gauge is twice the least count of the Vernier callipers, the least count of the screw gauge is $0.01 \ mm$.

    $(B)$ If the pitch of the screw gauge is twice the least count of the Vernier callipers, the least count of the screw gauge is $0.005 \ mm$.

    $(C)$ If the least count of the linear scale of the screw gauge is twice the least count of the Vernier callipers, the least count of the screw gauge is $0.01 \ mm$.

    $(D)$ If the least count of the linear scale of the screw gauge is twice the least count of the Vernier callipers, the least count of the screw gauge is $0.005 \ mm$.
