One main scale division of a vernier callipers is $a \ cm$ and $n^{\text{th}}$ division of the vernier scale coincides with $(n-1)^{\text{th}}$ division of the main scale. The least count of the callipers in $mm$ is

The length of a cylinder is measured with the help of vernier callipers whose nine divisions of the main scale are equal to ten divisions of the vernier scale. The smallest division on the main scale is $0.5 \ mm$. It is observed that the zero of the vernier scale has just crossed the $78^{th}$ division of the main scale,and the fourth division of the vernier scale coincides with a main scale division. The length of the cylinder is $..... \ mm$.

If in a Vernier callipers $10 \,VSD$ coincides with $8 \,MSD$,then the least count of the Vernier calliper is ............ $m$ [given $1 \,MSD = 1 \,mm$].

Consider a Vernier callipers in which each $1 \ cm$ on the main scale is divided into $8$ equal divisions and a screw gauge with $100$ divisions on its circular scale. In the Vernier callipers,$5$ divisions of the Vernier scale coincide with $4$ divisions on the main scale and in the screw gauge,one complete rotation of the circular scale moves it by two divisions on the linear scale. Then:
$(A)$ If the pitch of the screw gauge is twice the least count of the Vernier callipers,the least count of the screw gauge is $0.01 \ mm$.
$(B)$ If the pitch of the screw gauge is twice the least count of the Vernier callipers,the least count of the screw gauge is $0.005 \ mm$.
$(C)$ If the least count of the linear scale of the screw gauge is twice the least count of the Vernier callipers,the least count of the screw gauge is $0.01 \ mm$.
$(D)$ If the least count of the linear scale of the screw gauge is twice the least count of the Vernier callipers,the least count of the screw gauge is $0.005 \ mm$.

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 ........... $cm$.

The one division of main scale of vernier callipers reads $1\,mm$ and $10$ divisions of Vernier scale is equal to the $9$ divisions on main scale. When the two jaws of the instrument touch each other the $zero$ of the Vernier lies to the right of $zero$ of the main scale and its fourth division coincides with a main scale division. When a spherical bob is tightly placed between the two jaws,the $zero$ of the Vernier scale lies in between $4.1\,cm$ and $4.2\,cm$ and $6^{\text{th}}$ Vernier division coincides with a main scale division. The diameter of the bob will be $.............10^{-2}\,cm$
