Consider a Vernier callipers in which each 1 cm on the main scale is divided into 8 equal divisions and a screw gauge with 100 divisions on its circular scale. In the Vernier
callipers, 5 divisions of the Vernier scale coincide with 4 divisions on the main scale and in the screw gauge, one complete rotation of the circular scale movesit by two divisions on the linear scale. Then:

If the pitch of the screw gauge is twice the least count of the Verniercallipers, the least count of the screw gaugeis 0.01 mm.

If the pitch of the screw gaugeis twice the least count of the Vernier callipers, the least count of the screw gauge is 0.005 mm.

If the least count of the linear scale of the screw gauge is twice the least count of the Vernier callipers, the least count of the screw gauge is 0.01 mm.

If the least count of the linear scale of the screw gauge is twice the least count of the Verniercallipers, the least count of the screw gauge is 0.005 mm.
