In the diagram shown in figure, find the magnitude and nature of zero error.

a
-0.01
b
-0.05
c
0.01
d
0.05

detailed solution

Correct option is D

Here, zero of Vernier scale lies to the right of zero of main scale, hence, it has positive zero error.N=0, x=5, LC=0.01 cmZero error=N+x×VC=0+5×0.01=0.05 cmZero correction =-0.05 cmTherefore, actual length will be 0.05 cm less than the measured length.
