JEE Main 2025 — Experimental Physics Question with Solution
JEE Main 2025 (22 Jan Shift 1)
Question
Given below are two statements :
Statement I : In a vernier callipers, one vernier scale division is always smaller than one main scale division.
Statement II : The vernier constant is given by one main scale division multiplied by the number of vernier scale divisions.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.

Correct answer
CBoth Statement I and Statement II are false
Step-by-step explanation
