$A$ travelling microscope is used to determine the refractive index of a glass slab. If $40$ divisions are there in $1 \; cm$ on the main scale and $50$ Vernier scale divisions are equal to $49$ main scale divisions,then the least count of the travelling microscope is $\dots \times 10^{-6} \; m$.

Thickness of a pencil measured by a screw gauge (least count $0.001 \ cm$) comes out to be $0.802 \ cm$. The percentage error in the measurement is (in $\%$)

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 pitch of a screw gauge is $0.5 \ mm$ and there are $100$ divisions on its circular scale. The instrument reads $+2$ divisions on the circular scale when nothing is placed between its jaws. In measuring the diameter of a wire,there are $8$ divisions on the main scale and the $83^{rd}$ division of the circular scale coincides with the reference line. Then the diameter of the wire is (in $mm$)

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 $cm$)
