There are $100$ divisions on the circular scale of a screw gauge of pitch $1 \mathrm{~mm}$. With no measuring quantity in between the jaws, the zero of the circular scale lies $5$ divisions below the reference line. The diameter of a wire is then measured using this screw gauge. It is found the $4$ linear scale divisions are clearly visible while $60$ divisions on circular scale coincide with the reference line. The diameter of the wire is :
