$A$ screw gauge gives the following reading when used to measure the diameter of a wire.
Main scale reading : $0 \ mm$
Circular scale reading : $52 \ divisions$
Given that $1 \ mm$ on the main scale corresponds to $100$ divisions of the circular scale. The diameter of the wire from the above data is: (in $cm$)

  • A
    $0.052$
  • B
    $0.026$
  • C
    $0.005$
  • D
