In a vernier callipers,$10$ divisions of vernier scale coincide with $9$ divisions of main scale. One division of main scale is of $0.1 \ cm$. If in the measurement of inner diameter of a cylinder,the zero of the vernier scale lies between $1.3 \ cm$ and $1.4 \ cm$ of the main scale and the $2^{\text{nd}}$ division of the vernier scale coincides with a main scale division,then the diameter will be: (in $cm$)

  • A
    $1.30$
  • B
    $1.34$
  • C
    $1.32$
  • D
    $1.36$
