In an experiment with vernier callipers of least count 0.1 mm, when two jaws are joined together the zero of vernier scale lies right to the zero of the main scale and 6$$^{th}$$ division of vernier scale coincides with the main scale division. While measuring the diameter of a spherical bob, the zero of vernier scale lies in between 3.2 cm and 3.3 cm marks and 4$$^{th}$$ division of vernier scale coincides with the main scale division. The diameter of bob is measured as
Zero error: +0.06 cm (positive, since zero of vernier is to the right of main scale zero, with 6th division coinciding).
Observed reading: MSR = 3.2 cm, VSR = 4 × 0.01 = 0.04 cm. Total observed = 3.24 cm.
Corrected reading = 3.24 - 0.06 = 3.18 cm.
The correct answer is Option 2: 3.18 cm.
