The main scale of a vernier calliper has $n$ divisions per $cm$. $n$ divisions of the vernier scale coincide with $(n-1)$ divisions of the main scale. The least count of the vernier calliper is,

In a vernier callipers, $50$ vernier scale divisions are equal to $48$ main scale divisions. If one main scale division $= 0.05 \ mm$, then the least count of the vernier callipers is . . . . . . $mm$.

The diameter of a cylinder is measured using a vernier callipers with no zero error. It is found that the zero of the vernier scale lies between $5.10 \ cm$ and $5.15 \ cm$ of the main scale. The vernier scale has $50$ divisions equivalent to $2.45 \ cm$. The $24^{\text{th}}$ division of the vernier scale exactly coincides with one of the main scale divisions. The diameter of the cylinder is: (in $cm$)

$A$ student measured the diameter of a wire using a screw gauge with the least count $0.001\, cm$ and listed the measurements. The measured value should be recorded as (in $, cm$)

Which of the following is the most precise device for measuring length:
$A)$ a vernier callipers with $20$ divisions on the sliding scale
$B)$ a screw gauge of pitch $1 \; mm$ and $100$ divisions on the circular scale
$C)$ an optical instrument that can measure length to within a wavelength of light?

The smallest division on the main scale of a vernier callipers is $1 \ mm$,and $10$ vernier divisions coincide with $9$ main scale divisions. While measuring the diameter of a sphere,the zero mark of the vernier scale lies between $2.0 \ cm$ and $2.1 \ cm$ of the main scale,and the fifth division of the vernier scale coincides with a main scale division. The diameter of the sphere is:
