    A screw gauge has least count of 0.01 mm and there are 50 divisions in its circular scale. The pitch of the screw gauge is:            [NEET 2020]

    A) 0.25 mm

    B) 0.5 mm

    C) 1.0 mm

    D) 0.01 mm

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    [b] Least count
                    \[\frac{\text{Pitch}}{\text{Number}\,\,\text{of}\,\,\text{divisions}\,\,\text{on}\,\,\text{circular}\,\,\text{scale}}\]
                    \[\text{0}\text{.01}\,\,\text{mm=}\frac{\text{Pitch}}{\text{50}}\]
    \[\text{Pitch=0}\text{.5}\,\,\text{mm}\]
