Which of the following has the least count of 0.001 cm? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Which of the following has the least count of 0.001 cm?
A. Metre scale
B. Vernier calliper
C. Screw gauge
D. Measuring tape
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Screw gauge typically has least count 0.001 cm (0.01 mm). Vernier calliper least count 0.01 cm. Metre scale 0.1 cm. So screw gauge most precise.

Question #1
If the radius of the earth shrinks by 1%, its mass remaining the same, the value of 'g' on the earth's surface would:
A. Decrease by 2%
B. Decrease by 1%
C. Increase by 2%
D. Increase by 1%

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
The acceleration due to gravity is given by g = GM/R². For a small change, taking the derivative or using error approximation: Δg/g = -2(ΔR/R). If R shrinks by 1% (ΔR/R = -1%), then Δg/g = -2(-1%) = +2%. Therefore, the value of 'g' will increase by approximately 2%.

Question #2
If the length and cross-sectional area of a wire are both doubled, its resistance will:
A. Quadruple
B. Double
C. Remain unchanged
D. Halve

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Resistance (R) of a wire is given by R = ρL/A, where ρ is resistivity, L is length, and A is cross-sectional area. If L becomes 2L and A becomes 2A, the new resistance is R' = ρ(2L)/(2A). The 2s cancel out, leaving R' = ρL/A = R. Thus, the resistance remains entirely unchanged.

Question #3
The material of permanent magnet is
A. Copper
B. Steel
C. Aluminium
D. Soft iron

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Steel has high retentivity, retains magnetism, used for permanent magnets. Soft iron has low retentivity, used for electromagnet core (temporary). Alnico, ferrites also used.
