Area of the cross-section of a wire is measured using a screw gauge. The pitch of the main scale is $0.5 mm$. The circular scale has 100 divisions and for one full rotation of the circular scale, the main scale shifts by two divisions. The measured readings are listed below.
| Measurement condition | Main scale reading | Circular scale reading |
| Two arms of gauge touching each other without wire | $0$ division | $4$ division |
| Attempt-$1$: With wire | $4$ division | $20$ division |
| Attempt-$2$: With wire | $4$ division | $16$ division |
What are the diameter and cross-sectional area of the wire measured using the screw gauge?
