The pitch of a screw gauge having 50 divisions on its circular scale is 1 mm. When the two jaws of the screw gauge are in contact with each other, the zero of the circular scale lies 6 divisions below the line of graduation. When a wire is placed between the jaws, 3 linear scale divisions are clearly visible while the 31st division on the circular scale coincides with the reference line. The diameter of the wire is:
HARD

IMPORTANT
When the gap is closed without placing any object in the screw gauge whose least count is 0.005 mm, the 5th division on its circular scale coincides with the reference line on the main scale, and when a small sphere is placed, the reading on the main scale advances by 4 divisions, whereas circular scale reading advances by five times to the corresponding reading when no object was placed. There are 200 divisions on the circular scale. The radius of the sphere is:
MEDIUM

The pitch of a screw gauge is 0.5 mm and there are 100 divisions on its circular scale. The instrument reads +2 divisions when nothing is put in between its jaws. In measuring the diameter of a wire, there are 8 divisions on the main scale and 83rd divisions coincide with the reference line. Then the diameter of the wire is:

The smallest division on the main scale of a vernier caliper is 1 mm, and 10 vernier divisions coincide with 9 main scale divisions. While measuring the diameter of a sphere, the zero mark of the vernier scale lies between 2.0 and 2.1 cm and the fifth division of the vernier scale coincides with a scale division. The diameter of the sphere is,

Two full turns of the circular scale of a screw gauge cover a distance of 1 mm on its main scale. The total number of divisions on the circular scale is 50. Further, it is found that the screw gauge has a zero error of -0.03 mm. While measuring the diameter of a thin wire, a student noted the main scale reading as 3 mm and the number of circular scale divisions in line with the main scale as 35. The diameter of the wire is,
