In an experiment with Vernier callipers of least count $0.1\,mm$,when two jaws are joined together,the zero of the Vernier scale lies to the right of the zero of the main scale and the $6^{th}$ division of the Vernier scale coincides with a main scale division. While measuring the diameter of a spherical bob,the zero of the Vernier scale lies between $3.2\,cm$ and $3.3\,cm$ marks,and the $4^{th}$ division of the Vernier scale coincides with a main scale division. The diameter of the bob is measured as $.......\,cm$.

  • A
    $3.18$
  • B
    $3.25$
  • C
    $3.26$
