$10$ divisions on the main scale of a Vernier calliper coincide with $11$ divisions on the Vernier scale. If each division on the main scale is of $5$ units,the least count of the instrument is :

  • A
    $1/2$
  • B
    $10/11$
  • C
    $50/11$
  • D
    $5/11$

$A$ Vernier calipers has $1 \,mm$ 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 (in $\,mm$)

In an experiment,the angles are required to be measured using an instrument where $29$ divisions of the main scale exactly coincide with $30$ divisions of the vernier scale. If the smallest division of the main scale is half a degree $(= 0.5^\circ)$,then the least count of the instrument is:

In an experiment to find out the diameter of a wire using a screw gauge,the following observations were noted:
$(A)$ Screw moves $0.5 \ mm$ on the main scale in one complete rotation.
$(B)$ Total divisions on the circular scale $= 50$.
$(C)$ Main scale reading is $2.5 \ mm$.
$(D)$ $45^{\text{th}}$ division of the circular scale is in the reference line.
$(E)$ Instrument has $0.03 \ mm$ negative zero error.

Diameter of a steel ball is measured using a Vernier callipers which has divisions of $0.1\,cm$ on its main scale $(MS)$ and $10$ divisions of its vernier scale $(VS)$ match $9$ divisions on the main scale. Three such measurements for a ball are given as:
$S$.No. $MS\;(cm)$ $VS$ divisions
$(1)$ $0.5$ $8$
$(2)$ $0.5$ $4$
$(3)$ $0.5$ $6$

If the zero error is $-0.03\,cm,$ then the mean corrected diameter is ........... $cm$.

The internal and external radii of a hollow cylinder are measured with the help of a vernier callipers. Their values are $(4.23 \pm 0.01) \, cm$ and $(3.87 \pm 0.01) \, cm,$ respectively. The thickness of the wall of the cylinder is
