Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 0.13 cm

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned}
& 10 \mathrm{MSD}=1 \mathrm{~cm} ; 1 \mathrm{MSD}=0.1 \mathrm{~cm} \\
& 7 \mathrm{MSD}=10 \mathrm{VSD} \\
& 1 \mathrm{VSD}=0.07 \mathrm{~cm} \\
& \text { Reading }=2 \mathrm{MSD}-\mathrm{VSD} \\
& =0.2 \mathrm{~cm}-0.07 \mathrm{~cm}=0.13 \mathrm{~cm}
\end{aligned}\)
