In a vernier callipers, \((N+1)\) divisions of the vernier scale coincide with \(N\) divisions of the main scale. If \(1\) \(\text{MSD}\) represents \(0.1~\text{mm}\), the vernier constant (in \(\text{cm}\)) is:
1. \(\dfrac{1}{100(N+1)} \) 2. \(100N\)
3. \(10(N+1) \) 4. \(\dfrac{1}{10 N}\)

The pitch of an error-free screw gauge is \(1~\text{mm},\) and there are \(100\) divisions on the circular scale. While measuring the diameter of a thick wire, the pitch scale reads \(1~\text{mm},\) and \(63^\text{rd}\) division on the circular scale coincides with the reference line. The diameter of the wire is:
1. \(1.63 ~\text{cm}\)
2. \(0.163 ~\text{cm}\)
3. \(0.163~\text m\)
4. \(1.63 ~\text m\)

A screw gauge gives the following readings when used to measure the diameter of a wire:
Main scale reading: \(0\) mm
Circular scale reading: \(52\) divisions 
Given that \(1\) mm on the main scale corresponds to \(100\) divisions on the circular scale, the diameter of the wire that can be inferred from the given data is:

1. \(0.26\) cm 2. \(0.052\) cm
3. \(0.52\) cm 4. \(0.026\) cm
