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 $50$ divisions 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: (in $cm$)

While measuring the diameter of a wire using a screw gauge, the following readings were noted. The main scale reading is $1 \,mm$ and the circular scale reading is equal to $42$ divisions. The pitch of the screw gauge is $1 \,mm$ and it has $100$ divisions on the circular scale. The diameter of the wire is $\frac{x}{50} \,mm$. The value of $x$ is:

If $50$ Vernier divisions are equal to $49$ main scale divisions of a travelling microscope and one smallest reading of main scale is $0.5 \,mm$, the Vernier constant of travelling microscope is:

In a vernier callipers,$10$ divisions of vernier scale coincide with $9$ divisions of main scale,the least count of which is $0.1\,cm$. 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 $2^{nd}$ division of the vernier scale coincides with a main scale division,then the diameter will be .......... $cm$.
