One main scale division of a vernier caliper is equal to $m$ units. If $n^{\text {th }}$ division of main scale coincides with $(n+1)^{\mathrm{ht}}$ division of vernier scale, the least count of the vernier caliper is:
A$\frac{\mathrm{n}}{(\mathrm{n}+1)}$
B$\frac{\mathrm{m}}{(\mathrm{n}+1)}$
C$\frac{1}{(n+1)}$
D$\frac{\mathrm{m}}{\mathrm{n}(\mathrm{n}+1)}$

B$\frac{\mathrm{m}}{(\mathrm{n}+1)}$
b $n M S D=(n+1) V S D$
$\Rightarrow 1 V S D=\frac{n}{n+1} M S D$
$L \cdot C=1 M S D-1 V S D$
$L \cdot C=m-m\left(\frac{n}{n+1}\right)$
$L \cdot C=m\left(\frac{n+1-n}{n+1}\right)$
$\Rightarrow L \cdot C=\left(\frac{m}{n+1}\right)$

A metal wire has mass $(0.4 \pm 0.002)\,g$, radius $(0.3 \pm 0.001)\,mm$ and length $(5 \pm 0.02) \,cm$. The maximum possible percentage error in the measurement of density will nearly be $.......\%$
The electrical resistance $R$ of a conductor of length $l$ and area of cross section $a$ is given by $R = \frac{{\rho l}}{a}$ where $\rho$ is the electrical resistivity. What a is the dimensional formula for electrical conductivity $\sigma $ which is reciprocal of resistivity?
Assertion : The error in the measurement of radius of the sphere is $0.3\%$. The permissible error in its surface area is $0.6\%$
Reason : The permissible error is calculated by the formula $\frac{{\Delta A}}{A} = \frac{{4\Delta r}}{r}$
The dimensions of the area $A$ of a black hole can be written in terms of the universal gravitational constant $G$, its mass $M$ and the speed of light $c$ as $A=G^\alpha M^\beta c^\gamma$. Here,
