Answer» Answer: Explanation: Least count means smallest length that can be measured using an instrument. A vernier CALLIPERS has TWO SCALES: 1. The main scale 2.The vernier scale. Now we KNOW that Least count = 1 main scale division - 1 vernier scale division Generally in a vernier callipers N main scale divisions coincide with N-1 vernier scale divisions. But acc to our question, 20 VSD coincides with 16 MSD Therefore, Least Count = 1 MSD - 1VSD = 1MM - (16/20)*1mm = 4/20 mm = 0.2mm that is option D. Hence the Least Count of the Vernier Callipers is 0.2 mm |
