Consider a Vernier callipers in which each $1 \ cm$ on the main scale is divided into $8$ equal divisions and a screw gauge with $100$ divisions on its circular scale. In the Vernier callipers,$5$ divisions of the Vernier scale coincide with $4$ divisions on the main scale and in the screw gauge,one complete rotation of the circular scale moves it by two divisions on the linear scale. Then:
$(A)$ If the pitch of the screw gauge is twice the least count of the Vernier callipers,the least count of the screw gauge is $0.01 \ mm$.
$(B)$ If the pitch of the screw gauge is twice the least count of the Vernier callipers,the least count of the screw gauge is $0.005 \ mm$.
$(C)$ If the least count of the linear scale of the screw gauge is twice the least count of the Vernier callipers,the least count of the screw gauge is $0.01 \ mm$.
$(D)$ If the least count of the linear scale of the screw gauge is twice the least count of the Vernier callipers,the least count of the screw gauge is $0.005 \ mm$.

For the determination of the refractive index of a glass slab,a travelling microscope is used whose main scale contains $300$ equal divisions equal to $15 \ cm$. The vernier scale attached to the microscope has $25$ divisions equal to $24$ divisions of the main scale. The least count $(LC)$ of the travelling microscope is (in $cm$):

An experiment is performed to find the refractive index of glass using a travelling microscope. In this experiment,distances are measured by

The diagrams show readings of a screw gauge. Figure $(i)$ shows the zero error reading when the screw gauge is closed,and figure $(ii)$ shows the reading when the screw gauge is being used to measure the diameter of a ball-bearing. What is the diameter of the ball-bearing in $mm$? There are $50$ divisions on the circular scale.

$A$ student measured the diameter of a wire using a screw gauge with the least count $0.001\, cm$ and listed the measurements. The measured value should be recorded as (in $, cm$)
