Question
A vernier calipers having 1 main scale division = 0.1 cm is designed to have to have a least count of 0.02 cm. If n be the number of divisions on vernier scale and m be the length of vernier scale, then
Options
A.n = 10, m = 0.5 cm
B.n = 9, m = 0.4 cm
C.n = 10, m = 0.8 cm
D.n = 10, m = 0.2 cm
Solution
∵ L.C=. 1 MSD - 1VSD
∴ 0.02 = 0.1 -
= 0.08
∴ 0.02 = 0.1 -
= 0.08Create a free account to view solution
