The smallest division on main scale of a vernier callipers is $$1$$ mm and $$10$$ vernier divisions coincide with $$9$$ main scale divisions. While measuring the length of a line, the zero mark of the vernier scale lies between $$10.2$$ cm and $$10.3$$ cm and the third division of vernier scale coincides with a main scale division. Find the length of the line.

Question

The smallest division on main scale of a vernier callipers is $$1$$ mm and $$10$$ vernier divisions coincide with $$9$$ main scale divisions. While measuring the length of a line, the zero mark of the vernier scale lies between $$10.2$$ cm and $$10.3$$ cm and the third division of vernier scale coincides with a main scale division. Find the length of the line.
