Least count of a vernier caliper is \(\frac{1}{20 \mathrm{~N}} \mathrm{~cm}\). The value of one division on the main scale is \(1 \mathrm{~mm}\). Then the number of divisions of main scale that coincide with \(\mathrm{N}\) divisions of vernier scale is _______.

  1. A \(\left(\frac{2 \mathrm{~N}-1}{20 \mathrm{~N}}\right)\)
  2. B \(\left(\frac{2 \mathrm{~N}-1}{2}\right)\)
  3. C \((2 \mathrm{~N}-1)\)
  4. D \(\left(\frac{2 \mathrm{~N}-1}{2 \mathrm{~N}}\right)\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\left(\frac{2 \mathrm{~N}-1}{2}\right)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Least count of vernier calipers \(=\frac{1}{20 \mathrm{~N}} \mathrm{~cm}\) \(\because\) Least count\(=1 \mathrm{MSD}-1 \mathrm{VSD}\) let \(\mathrm{x}\) no. of divisions of main scale coincides with \(\mathrm{N}\) division of vernier scale, then…
