Solution

Q.
10 divisions on the main scale of a Vernier calliper coincide with 11 divisions on the Vernier scale. If each division on the main scale is of 5 units, the least count of the instrument is [2024]

1 $\frac{1}{2}$

2 $\frac{10}{11}$

3 $\frac{50}{11}$

4 $\frac{5}{11}$

Ans.
(4)

$10$ $M S D = 11$ $V S D$

$1$ $V S D = \frac{10}{11}$ $M S D$

$L C = 1$ $M S D - 1$ $V S D = 1$ $M S D - \frac{10}{11}$ $M S D$

$= \frac{1 M S D}{11} = \frac{5}{11} units$
