Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(0.01 \mathrm{~mm}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(50 \mathrm{~V}+\mathrm{S}=49 \mathrm{~S}+\mathrm{S}\)

\(\mathrm{S}=50(\mathrm{~S}-\mathrm{V})\)

\(5=50(\mathrm{~S}-\mathrm{V})\)

\(\mathrm{S}-\mathrm{V}=\frac{0.5}{50}=\frac{1}{100}=0.01 \mathrm{~mm}\)
