Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 11
In a vernier calliper, 20 VSD coincide with 16 MSD (each division of length 1 mm). The least count of the vernier callipers is:
A
0.2 cm
B
0.01 cm
C
0.02 cm
D
0.1 cm
Correct Answer
Option C
Detailed Explanation
The least count (L.C.) is calculated using the formula: L.C. = 1 MSD - 1 VSD. Given 20 VSD = 16 MSD, the least count is 0.02 cm.
