Question

The difference between 1 M.S.D and 1 V.S D in a Vernier caliper is:

A.

0.02mm

B.

1.00 mm

C.

0.2 mm

D.

0.03 mm

Correct option is A

The difference between 1 Main Scale Division (M.S.D) and 1 Vernier Scale Division (V.S.D) is the least count of the Vernier caliper, which is typically 0.02 mm for a standard metric Vernier caliper.
Explanation:
Main Scale Division (M.S.D):
· The main scale is graduated in millimeters or inches.
· On a standard metric Vernier caliper, 1 M.S.D = 1 mm.
Vernier Scale Division (V.S.D):
· The Vernier scale is a secondary scale located on the sliding jaw.
· It is designed so that a specific number of V.S.Ds are slightly smaller than the corresponding number of M.S.Ds.
Difference Between M.S.D and V.S.D:
· The difference between 1 M.S.D and 1 V.S.D is the least count of the caliper.
