NEET 2025 Physics question on Physical World and Measurement

Consider the diameter of a spherical object being measured with the help of a Vernier callipers. Suppose its 10 Vernier Scale Divisions (V.S.D.) are equal to its 9 Main Scale Divisions (M.S.D.). The least division in the M.S. is 0.1 cm and the zero of V.S. is at x = 0.1 cm when the jaws of Vernier callipers are closed.
If the main scale reading for the diameter is M = 5 cm and the number of coinciding vernier division is 8, the measured diameter after zero error correction, is
  1. A.
    5.00 cm
  2. B.
    5.18 cm
  3. C.
    5.08 cm
  4. D.
    4.98 cm
