Q. To measure the volume of a cylinderical wire, its diameter is measured by a screw gauge and is found to be 1.25 mm, and its length is measured with a vernier caliper and is found to be 5.50 cm. The least count of the screw gauge is 0.01 mm, and that of the vernier caliper is 0.01 cm.

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
