In a screw gauge, the zero of the main scale reference line coincides with the fifth division of the circular scale when two studs are in contact. There are $100$ divisions on the circular scale and the pitch of the screw gauge is $0.1 \text{ mm}$. When the diameter of a sphere is measured, the reading of the main scale is $5 \text{ mm}$ and the $50^{th}$ division of the circular scale coincides with the reference line of the main scale. The diameter of the sphere is . . . . . . $\text{mm}$.

  • B
    $5.055$
  • C
