m

units. If

n^{th}

division of main scale coincides with

({n}+1)^{th}

division of vernier scale, the least count of the vernier caliper is:

View answer and explanation

Correct option: B

\frac{m}{(n+1)}

Option B (

\frac{m}{(n+1)}

) is correct because it's the least count calculated from the given relationship between main scale division and vernier scale division.
