The least counts of a vernier calipers and a screw gauge are in the ratio of `5: 1` . The main scales of both the instruments are marked in mm. The zero error on the vernier calipers is `+0.15 `mm where as that on screw gauge is `-0.06` mm. If the diameter of a rod lies between 0.9 cm and 1.0 cm and x and y are the VCD and CSR on the two instruments relation between x and y given that the number of C.S.D = 100 isA. `x-5y =9`B. `5x -y =9`C. `x-5y=21`D. `5x-y =21`

Answer» Correct Answer - A
Least count of screw gauge `=(1)/(100) =0.01 mm`
Least count of vernier calipers `=5xx 0.01 =0.05 mm`
Let d be the diameter of the rod
`9 mm lt d lt 10 mm`
`d=9+ y xx 0.01 +0.06 ` by screw gauge
` 5x -15 =y+6`
`5x -y =21`
