Ques. 1JEE Main 2026, 28 January (Evening Shift)

In an experiment, a set of readings are obtained as follows: 1.24 mm, 1.25 mm, 1.23 mm, 1.21 mm. The expected least count of the instrument used in recording these readings is mm.

  1. 0.01
  2. 0.05
  3. 0.001
  4. 0.1

Answer

(1) 0.01

Solution

Every reading is recorded up to the second decimal place in mm (1.24, 1.25, 1.23, 1.21).

The last recorded digit changes in steps of 0.01 mm, so the smallest value the instrument can measure is 0.01 mm.

Least count = 0.01 mm

In a screw gauge, the zero of the circular scale lies 3 divisions above the horizontal pitch line when their metallic studs are brought in contact. Using this instrument thickness of a sheet is measured. If pitch scale reading is 1 mm and the circular scale reading is 51 then the correct thickness of the sheet is mm.
