A screw gauge gives the following reading, when used to measure the diameter of a wire. 

Main scale reading : 0 mm

Circular scale reading : 52 divisions

Given that 1 mm on main scale corresponds to 100 divisions of the circular scale

The diameter of the wire from the above data is

a
0.026 cm
b
0.016 m
c
0.052 cm
d
0.062 m

detailed solution

Correct option is C

Diameter of wire = MSR + CSR × LCGiven main scale reading (MSR) = 0 mmCircular scale reading = 52Least  count=Value of  1  main  scale  divisionTotal  divisions on  circular  scaleLC=0+52×1100= 0.52 mm= 0.052 cm
