Detailed Solution

Given 10 VSD = 9 MSD
Least count =1MSD10=0.1mm 
As '0' of V.S. lies before '0' of M.S. 
Zero error = –[10 – 6] L.C.
                 = – 4 × 0.01 cm
                 = –0.04 cm  
Reading   = 4.1 cm + 2 × LC 
                = 4.1 cm + 2 × 0.01 cm
                = 4.12 cm 
True diameter = Reading – Zero error
               = 4.12 – (–0.04) cm  = 4.16 cm
