In a vernier calliper, when both jaws touch each other, zero of the vernier scale shifts towards left and its \(4^{\text {th }}\) division coincides exactly with a certain division on main scale. If \(50\) vernier scale divisions equal to \(49\) main scale divisions and zero error in the instrument is \(0.04 \mathrm{~mm}\) then how many main scale divisions are there in \(1 \mathrm{~cm}\) ?

  1. A \(40\)
  2. B \(5\)
  3. C \(20\)
  4. D \(10\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(20\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(4^{\text {th }}\) division coincides with \(3^{\text {rd }}\) division then \( 0.004 \mathrm{~cm}=4 \mathrm{VSD}-3 \mathrm{MSD}\) \(49 \mathrm{MSD}=50 \mathrm{VSD}\) \(1 \mathrm{MSD}=\frac{1}{\mathrm{~N}} \mathrm{~cm}\)…
