In a Vernier Caliper 101010 divisions of Vernier scale is equal to the 999 divisions of main scale. When both jaws of Vernier calipers touch each other, the zero of the Vernier scale is shifted to the left of zero of the main scale and 4th{4}^{\mathrm{th}}4th Vernier scale division exactly coincides with the main scale reading. One main scale division is equal to 1mm1\mathrm{mm}1mm. While measuring diameter of a spherical body, the body is held between two jaws. It is now observed that zero of the Vernier scale lies between 303030 and 313131 divisions of main scale reading and 6th{6}^{\mathrm{th}}6th Vernier scale division exactly. coincides with the main scale reading. The diameter of the spherical body will be:
