    A) 5.3200cm

    B) 5.3cm

    C) 5.32cm

    D) 5.320cm

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    [d] The least count (L.C.) of a screw guage is the smallest length which can be measured accurately with it.
    As least count is \[0.001cm=\frac{1}{1000}cm\]
    Hence measured value should be recorded up to 3 decimal places i.e., 5.320 cm
