$\begin{array}{l} F o r C_{1}, \\ L C = M S D - V S D = 1 m m - 0.9 m m = 0.1 m m = 0.01 c m \\ [∵ 10 V S D = 9 m m] \\ R e a d i n g = M S R + (L C \times n) = 2.8 + (0.01 \times 7) = 2.87 c m \\ F o r C_{2}, \\ L C = M S D - V S D = 1 m m - 1.1 m m = - 0.1 m m = - 0.01 c m \\ [∵ 10 V S D = 11 m m] \\ R e a d i n g = 2.8 + (10 - 7) \times 0.01 = 2.83 c m \end{array}$
