MCQ
One centimeter on a scale is divided into $20$ equal divisions. The least count (minimum value) of this scale is
  • A
    $20\ cm$
  • B
    $1\ mm$
  • $0.1\ mm$
  • D
    $0.5\ mm$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$0.1\ mm$

As $20$ divisions $= 1\ cm$
$\therefore 1$ division
$=\frac{1}{2}\text{cm}=0.05\text{cm}$
$= 0.5mm$
Hence, least count of this scale $= 0.5mm$
