A student performs an experiment of measuring the thickness of a slab with a vernier calliper whose $50$ divisions of the vernier scale are equal to $49$ divisions of the main scale. He noted that zero of the vernier scale is between $7.00\; cm$ and $7.05 \;cm$ mark of the main scale and $23^{rd}$ division of the vernier scale exactly coincides with the main scale. The measured value of the thickness of the given slab using the calliper will be

In a screw gauge, $5$ complete rotations of the screw cause it to move a linear distance of $0.25\, cm$. There are $100$ circular scale divisions. The thickness of a wire measured by this screw gauge gives a reading of $4$ main scale divisions and $30$ circular scale divisions . Assuming negligible zero error, the thickness of the wire is
