The least count of the main scale of a vernier callipers is $1\, mm$. Its vernier scale is divided into $10$ divisions and coincides with $9$ divisions of the main scale. When jaws are touching each other,the $7^{th}$ division of the vernier scale coincides with a division of the main scale and the zero of the vernier scale lies to the right side of the zero of the main scale. When this vernier is used to measure the length of a cylinder,the zero of the vernier scale is between $3.1\, cm$ and $3.2\, cm$ and the $4^{th}$ $VSD$ coincides with a main scale division. The length of the cylinder is $.....\, cm$. ($VSD$ is vernier scale division)

In a screw gauge,the fifth division of the circular scale coincides with the reference line when the ratchet is closed. There are $50$ divisions on the circular scale,and the main scale moves by $0.5 \, mm$ on a complete rotation. For a particular observation,the reading on the main scale is $5 \, mm$ and the $20^{th}$ division of the circular scale coincides with the reference line. Calculate the true reading in $mm$.

Using a screw gauge with a pitch of $0.1 \ cm$ and $50$ divisions on its circular scale,the thickness of an object is measured. How should the measurement be correctly recorded (in $cm$)?

Consider a Vernier callipers in which each $1 \ cm$ on the main scale is divided into $8$ equal divisions and a screw gauge with $100$ divisions on its circular scale. In the Vernier callipers,$5$ divisions of the Vernier scale coincide with $4$ divisions on the main scale and in the screw gauge,one complete rotation of the circular scale moves it by two divisions on the linear scale. Then:
$(A)$ If the pitch of the screw gauge is twice the least count of the Vernier callipers,the least count of the screw gauge is $0.01 \ mm$.
$(B)$ If the pitch of the screw gauge is twice the least count of the Vernier callipers,the least count of the screw gauge is $0.005 \ mm$.
$(C)$ If the least count of the linear scale of the screw gauge is twice the least count of the Vernier callipers,the least count of the screw gauge is $0.01 \ mm$.
$(D)$ If the least count of the linear scale of the screw gauge is twice the least count of the Vernier callipers,the least count of the screw gauge is $0.005 \ mm$.
