Using screw gauge of pitch $0.1$ $cm$ and $50$ divisions on its circular scale, the thickness of an object is measured. It should correctly be recorded as 

A

$2.123\;cm$

B

$2.125\;cm$

C

$2.121\;cm$

D

$2.124\;cm$

(JEE MAIN-2020)

Solution

$LC =\frac{\text { pitch }}{ CSD }=\frac{0.1 cm }{50}=0.002 cm$

So any measurement will be integral

Multiple of $LC.$

will be $2.124 cm$
