Question

If the zero of the vernier scale is on the right of zero of the main scale, then the-

A.

Zero correction will be negative

B.

Both zero error will be positive and zero correction will be negative

C.

Zero error will be positive

D.

Zero error will be negative

Correct option is B


If the zero of the vernier scale is to the right of the main scale zero, there is a positive zero error.
The zero correction is the opposite of the zero error to compensate for it. Hence, the zero correction is negative.
A negative zero error occurs if zero on the vernier scale lies on the left side of zero on the main scale. If the error is negative, the correction is positive.
