The figure of a centimeter scale below shows a particular position of the vernier calipers. In this position the value of x shown in the figure is ( figure is not to scale)

Options

  1. A0.02 ~cm
  2. B3.65 ~cm
  3. C4.15 ~cm
  4. D0.03 ~cm

Correct answer

D. 0.03 ~cm

Step-by-step solution

x =0.3 ~cm -3 scale division of vernier calipers array l =0.3 ~cm -3 9 100 = 30-27 100 = 3 100 =0.03 ~cm array
