    The pitch and the number of circular scale divisions in a screw gauge with least count 0.02 mm are respectively

    A) 1mm and 100

    B)  0.5 mm and 50

    C)  1 mm and 50

    D)  0.5 mm and 100

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    [c] Least count of a screw gauge \[=\frac{Pitch}{Number\,of\,circular\,scale\,divisions}\] \[=\frac{1\,mm}{50}=0.02\,mm\] Therefore the pitch and no. of circular scale divisions are 1mm and 50 respectively.
