Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion $(A)$ and the other is labelled as Reason $(R)$.
Assertion $(A)$: In a Vernier calliper,if a positive zero error exists,then while taking measurements,the reading taken will be more than the actual reading.
Reason $(R)$: The zero error in a Vernier calliper might have happened due to a manufacturing defect or due to rough handling.
In the light of the above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below:

The main scale of a vernier caliper reads in millimeters and its vernier scale is divided into $8$ divisions,which coincide with $5$ divisions of the main scale. When the two jaws of the instrument touch each other,the zero of the vernier scale coincides with the zero of the main scale. $A$ rod is placed between the two jaws. It is observed that the zero of the vernier scale lies just to the left of the $36^{th}$ division of the main scale and the fourth division of the vernier scale coincides with a main scale division. The measured value is .......... $cm$.
