$A$ tiny metallic rectangular sheet has a length and breadth of $5 \ mm$ and $2.5 \ mm$,respectively. Using a specially designed screw gauge which has a pitch of $0.75 \ mm$ and $15$ divisions on the circular scale,you are asked to find the area of the sheet. In this measurement,the maximum fractional error will be $\frac{x}{100}$ where $x$ is . . . . . .

  • A
    $3$
  • B
    $13$
  • C
    $5$
  • D

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion $(A)$ and the other is labelled as Reason $(R)$.
Assertion $(A)$: In a Vernier calliper,if a positive zero error exists,then while taking measurements,the reading taken will be more than the actual reading.
Reason $(R)$: The zero error in a Vernier calliper might have happened due to a manufacturing defect or due to rough handling.
In the light of the above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below:

The main scale of a vernier calliper has $n$ divisions per $cm$. $n$ divisions of the vernier scale coincide with $(n-1)$ divisions of the main scale. The least count of the vernier calliper is,

In a screw gauge,$5$ complete rotations of the circular scale give a $1.5 \, mm$ reading on the linear scale. The circular scale has $50$ divisions. The least count of the screw gauge is: (in $, mm$)

Two full turns of the circular scale of a screw gauge cover a distance of $1 \ mm$ on its main scale. The total number of divisions on the circular scale is $50$. Further,it is found that the screw gauge has a zero error of $-0.03 \ mm$. While measuring the diameter of a thin wire,a student notes the main scale reading of $3 \ mm$ and the number of circular scale divisions in line with the main scale as $35$. The diameter of the wire is ....... $mm$

In a Vernier Calipers,$10$ divisions of the Vernier scale are equal to $9$ divisions of the main scale. When both jaws of the Vernier calipers touch each other,the zero of the Vernier scale is shifted to the left of the zero of the main scale,and the $4^{\text{th}}$ Vernier scale division exactly coincides with a main scale division. One main scale division is equal to $1\,mm$. While measuring the diameter of a spherical body,the body is held between the two jaws. It is observed that the zero of the Vernier scale lies between $30$ and $31$ divisions of the main scale,and the $6^{\text{th}}$ Vernier scale division exactly coincides with a main scale division. The diameter of the spherical body is $.......\,cm$.
