Solution

The correct option is C Both the instrument have same least count but screw gauge can be more precise.
L.C of vernier =M.S.D – V.S.D $= [5 - 4.9] 10^{- 4} m = 0.01 m m$

L.C. of screw gauge =0.01mm

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
