Question

L.C. of vernier calipers is

• A. 1 MSD $÷$ Number of VSD's
• B. 1 MSD $\times$ Number of VSD's
• C. both (a) and (b)
• D. 1 MSD - Number of VSD's

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

1 MSD $÷$ Number of VSD's

$\begin{array}{c}\text{L.C}\text{of vernier caliper}\\ \Rightarrow 1MSD÷\text{Number of}VSD\text{'s}\end{array}$

$\begin{array}{c}\text{because the smallest reading reading which can be}\\ \text{accurately measured with a vernier caliper, and}\\ \text{if we divide main scale division by no. of VSD}\\ \text{of course it will be the smallest unit of that instrument}\end{array}$
