\(10\) divisions on the main scale of a Vernier calliper coincide with \(11\) divisions on the Vernier scale. If each division on the main scale is of \(5\) units, the least count of the instrument is _______.
Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) \(\frac{5}{11}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(10 \mathrm{MSD}=11 \mathrm{VSD}\)
\(1 \mathrm{VSD}=\frac{10}{11} \mathrm{MSD}\)
\(\mathrm{LC}=1 \mathrm{MSD}-1 \mathrm{VSD}\)
\(=1 \mathrm{MSD}-\frac{10}{11} \mathrm{MSD}\)
\(=\frac{1 \mathrm{MSD}}{11}\)
\(-\frac{5}{11} \text { units }\)
