The main scale of a vernier callipers reads 10 mm in 10 divisions. 10 divisions of Vernier scale coincide with 9 divisions of the main scale. When the two jaws of the callipers touch each other, the fifth division of the vernier coincides with 9 main scale divisions and the zero of the vernier is to the right of zero of main scale. When a cylinder is tightly placed between the two jaws, the zero of vernier scale lies slightly behind 3.2 cm and the fourth vernier division coincides with a main scale division. The diameter of the cylinder is.

(1)  3.10 cm

(2)  3.8 cm

(3)  3.09 cm

(4)  -3.09 cm

A student measured the diameter of a small steel ball using a screw gauge of least count \(0.001\) cm. The main scale reading is \(5\) mm and zero of circular scale division coincides with \(25\) divisions above the reference level. If the screw gauge has a zero error of \(-0.004\) cm, the correct diameter of the ball is:
1. \(0.521\) cm 2. \(0.525\) cm
3. \(0.053\) cm 4. \(0.529\) cm
