Answer» Correct Answer - A::B::C Least count ` = ("Value of one main scale division")/("Number of divisions on vernier scale")` = `(1 mm)/(10) = (0.1 cm)/(10)` = `0.01 cm` Reading (diameter) = MS reading + (coinciding VS reading xx Least Count) = `4.3 cm + (7 xx 0.01)` = `4.3 + 0.07 = 4.37 cm` Diameter = `4.37 cm` `:.` Radius =`(4.37)/2 = 2.185 cm` = `2.18 cm` To the required number of significant figures. |
