Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(5\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(20 \; MSD =1 \; cm\) \(1 \; MSD =\frac{1}{20} \; cm\) \(10 \; VSD =9 \; MSD\) \(1 \; VSD =\frac{9}{10} \; MSD\) \(=\frac{9}{10} \times \frac{1}{20} \; cm\) \(1 VSD =\frac{9}{200} \; cm\) VC \(=1 MSD -1 \; VSD\) \(=\frac{1}{20} \; cm -\frac{9}{200} \; cm\)…
