$A$ 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 the zero of the vernier scale is between $7.00 \; cm$ and $7.05 \; cm$ mark of the main scale and the $23^{rd}$ 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 $; cm$)

  • A
    $7.23$
  • B
    $7.023$
  • C
    $7.073$
  • D
    $7.73$

In an experiment to find out the diameter of a wire using a screw gauge,the following observations were noted:
$(A)$ Screw moves $0.5 \ mm$ on the main scale in one complete rotation.
$(B)$ Total divisions on the circular scale $= 50$.
$(C)$ Main scale reading is $2.5 \ mm$.
$(D)$ $45^{\text{th}}$ division of the circular scale is in the reference line.
$(E)$ Instrument has $0.03 \ mm$ negative zero error.

Diameter of a steel ball is measured using a Vernier callipers which has divisions of $0.1\,cm$ on its main scale $(MS)$ and $10$ divisions of its vernier scale $(VS)$ match $9$ divisions on the main scale. Three such measurements for a ball are given as:
$S$.No. $MS\;(cm)$ $VS$ divisions
$(1)$ $0.5$ $8$
$(2)$ $0.5$ $4$
$(3)$ $0.5$ $6$

If the zero error is $-0.03\,cm,$ then the mean corrected diameter is ........... $cm$.
