The diameter of a cylinder is measured using a vernier callipers with no zero error. It is found that the zero of the vernier scale lies between $5.10 \ cm$ and $5.15 \ cm$ of the main scale. The vernier scale has $50$ division equivalent to $2.45 \ cm$. The $24^{\text {th }}$ division of the vernier scale exactly coincides with one of the main scale divisions. The diameter of the cylinder is :

A screw gauge with a pitch of $0.5 \ mm$ and a circular scale with $50$ divisions is used to measure the thickness of a thin sheet of Aluminium. Before starting the measurement, it is found that wen the two jaws of the screw gauge are brought in contact, the $45^{th} $division coincides with the main scale line and the zero of the main scale is barely visible. What is the thickness of the sheet (in $mm$) if the main scale reading is $0.5\ mm$ and the $25^{th}$ division coincides with the main scale line
