Options

  1. AA-(S); B-(P, R); C-(Q); D-(R, S)
  2. BA-(P); B-(Q); C-(R); D-(S)
  3. CA-(S); B-(P); C-(Q, R); D-(S)
  4. DNone of these

Correct answer

A. A-(S); B-(P, R); C-(Q); D-(R, S)

Step-by-step solution

- A. Backlash error →→ (S) Backlash happens due to loose fittings in the screw gauge. - B. Zero error (→(P,R)\rightarrow(\mathrm{P}, \mathrm{R})) Zero error is always subtracted (P), and it may be positive or negative (R). - C. Vernier callipers →→ (Q) Their least count is given by (1 MSD−\mathrm{MSD}-1 VSD\mathrm{VSD}). - D. Error in screw gauge (→(R,S)\rightarrow(\mathrm{R}, \mathrm{S})) Screw gauge can have zero error (positive or negative →R→ R) and backlash due to loose fittings (SS).
