$A$ student performs an experiment of measuring the thickness of a slab with a vernier calliper whose $50$ divisions of the vernier scale are equal to $49$ divisions of the main scale. He noted that the zero of the vernier scale is between $7.00 \; cm$ and $7.05 \; cm$ mark of the main scale and the $23^{rd}$ division of the vernier scale exactly coincides with the main scale. The measured value of the thickness of the given slab using the calliper will be (in $; cm$)

Given below are two statements:
Statement $I$: In a vernier callipers,one vernier scale division is always smaller than one main scale division.
Statement $II$: The vernier constant is given by one main scale division multiplied by the number of vernier scale division.
In the light of the above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below.

The smallest division on the main scale of a Vernier calipers is $0.1 \text{ cm}$. Ten divisions of the Vernier scale correspond to nine divisions of the main scale. The figure below on the left shows the reading of this calipers with no gap between its two jaws. The figure on the right shows the reading with a solid sphere held between the jaws. The correct diameter of the sphere is (in $\text{ cm}$)

In a screw gauge,$5$ complete rotations of the screw cause it to move a linear distance of $0.25\, cm$. There are $100$ circular scale divisions. The thickness of a wire measured by this screw gauge gives a reading of $4$ main scale divisions and $30$ circular scale divisions. Assuming negligible zero error,the thickness of the wire is (in $, cm$)

The circular divisions of a screw gauge are $50$. It moves $0.5 \ mm$ on the main scale in one rotation. When the diameter of a wire is measured,the main scale reading is $3.5 \ mm$ and the circular scale reading is $32$. If the zero error (positive) in the screw gauge is $0.06 \ mm$,then the diameter of the wire is:
