Physics Question from JEE Main 2023 · 10 April, Shift 2

In an experiment with vernier calipers of least count 0.1mm0.1 \, \text{mm}, when two jaws are joined together the zero of the vernier scale lies right to the zero of the main scale and **66**th division of vernier scale coincides with the main scale division. While measuring the diameter of a spherical bob, the zero of the vernier scale lies in between 3cm3 \, \text{cm} and 3.3cm3.3 \, \text{cm} marks, and **44**th division of vernier scale coincides with the main scale division. The diameter of the bob is measured as:

  • A

    3.25cm3.25 \, \text{cm}

  • B

    3.22cm3.22 \, \text{cm}

  • C

    3.18cm3.18 \, \text{cm}

  • D

    3.26cm3.26 \, \text{cm}
