Detailed Solution

Concept- The pitch of a screw gauge is the distance travelled by the spindle per revolution. A screw gauge is a tool that consists of a U-shaped metal frame with a hollow cylinder attached to one end and a millimetre scale graduated on the cylinder parallel to the screw's axis. The distance travelled in one rotation of a screw gauge is defined as its pitch. The pitch of the screw gauge is calculated by dividing the distance travelled by the number of full rotations specified. As a result, the pitch of a screw gauge is the angular distance covered in one screw rotation.
Hence, option 1 is the correct answer.
