Question

Two full turns of the circular scale of a screw gauge cover a distance of $$1 \,mm$$  on its main scale. The total number of divisions on the circular scale is $$50.$$  Further, it is found that the screw gauge has a zero error of $$- 0.03 \,mm.$$   While measuring the diameter of a thin wire, a student notes the main scale reading of $$3 \,mm$$  and the number of circular scale divisions in line with the main scale as $$35.$$ The diameter of the wire is-

A. $$3.32 \,mm$$
B. $$3.73 \,mm$$
C. $$3.67 \,mm$$
D. $$3.38 \,mm$$  
Answer :   $$3.38 \,mm$$
Solution :
Least count of screw gauge $$ = \frac{{0.5}}{{50}}\,mm = 0.01\,mm$$
$$\therefore $$ Reading = [Main scale reading + circular scale reading × L.C. ] $$-$$ (zero error)
= [3 + 35 × 0.01] $$-$$ ($$-$$ 0.03) = 3.38 $$mm$$
