Q. Let

A

represents the least count of a vernier caliper whose 10 main scale divisions are equal in length to 12 vernier scale divisions, and one main scale division is equal to 1 mm. Say

B

represents the least count of a screw gauge with 25 circular scale divisions and a pitch of 1 mm,

A - B

in mm is

Consider a Vernier calipers in which each $1 c m$ 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

Q. Consider a Vernier calipers 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:

Q. In a screw gauge, the main scale division is
