JEE PYQ: Units & Measurements - Question ID 2c8642042b5c (JEE Main 2014)
Select Option
Step-by-step Explanation
That means least count of the measuring instrument should be 0.01 cm = 0.1 mm
For vernier scale 1 main scale division = 1 mm
And 9 MSD = 10 VSD
Least count = 1 MSD - 1 VSD
= 1 - 0.9 = 0.1 mm
