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. \(1.63 ~\text m\)
