$N$ divisions on the main scale of a vernier calliper coincide with $(N + 1)$ divisions of the vernier scale. If each division of the main scale is $a$ units,then the least count of the instrument is:

The main scale of a vernier caliper reads in millimeters and its vernier scale is divided into $8$ divisions,which coincide with $5$ divisions of the main scale. When the two jaws of the instrument touch each other,the zero of the vernier scale coincides with the zero of the main scale. $A$ rod is placed between the two jaws. It is observed that the zero of the vernier scale lies just to the left of the $36^{th}$ division of the main scale and the fourth division of the vernier scale coincides with a main scale division. The measured value is .......... $cm$.

In a screw gauge,there are $100$ divisions on the circular scale and the main scale moves by $0.5\,mm$ on a complete rotation of the circular scale. The zero of the circular scale lies $6$ divisions below the line of graduation when two studs are brought in contact with each other. When a wire is placed between the studs,$4$ linear scale divisions are clearly visible while the $46^{\text{th}}$ division of the circular scale coincides with the reference line. The diameter of the wire is $...........\times 10^{-2}\,mm$.

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 pitch and the number of divisions on the circular scale for a given screw gauge are $0.5\,mm$ and $100$ respectively. When the screw gauge is fully tightened without any object,the zero of its circular scale lies $3$ divisions below the mean line. The readings of the main scale and the circular scale for a thin sheet are $5.5\,mm$ and $48$ respectively. The thickness of this sheet is: (in $,mm$)
