MCQ
A Vernier calipers has $1 \mathrm{~mm}$ marks on the main scale. It has $20$ equal divisions on the Vernier scale which match with $16$ main scale divisions. For this Vernier calipers, the least count is
  • A
    $0.02 \mathrm{~mm}$
  • B
    $0.05 \mathrm{~mm}$
  • C
    $0.1 \mathrm{~mm}$
  • $0.2 \mathrm{~mm}$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$0.2 \mathrm{~mm}$
d
$\text { L.C. } $$ =1 \text { M.S.D }-1 \text { V.S.D } $

$ =\left(1-\frac{16}{20}\right) \text { M.S.D } $

$ =\left(1-\frac{4}{5}\right)(1 \mathrm{~mm})=0.2 \mathrm{~mm}$
