A screw gauge has 50 divisions on its circular scale. The circular scale is 4 units ahead of the pitch scale marking, prior to use. Upon one complete rotation of the circular scale, a displacement of 0.5 mm is noticed on the pitch scale. The nature of zero error involved, and the least count of the screw gauge, are respectively:

a
Positive, 0.1 mm
b
Positive, 10μm
c
Positive, 0.1  μm
d
Negative,   2  μm

detailed solution

Correct option is B

Positive Zero error = + 0.04 mmPitch = 0.5 mmLC=0.550=0.01  mm=10μm
