70% to passThe reading on the vernier caliper scale shown in figure "G" in the illustration is _______________. Illustration GS-0082
A2.308 inches
B2.368 inches
C2.380 inches
D2.965 inches
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) 2.368 inches. The reasoning behind this is that a vernier caliper, which is a precision measuring instrument, allows for measurements to be taken with a high degree of accuracy. The illustration shows the vernier scale, and by aligning the markings on the vernier scale with the main scale, the reading can be determined to be 2.368 inches. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the reading shown in the illustration. Option A (2.308 inches) and Option C (2.380 inches) are off by the precision of the vernier scale, while Option D (2.965 inches) is significantly different from the correct reading.
