The main scale of a vernier calliper has \(n\) divisions/cm. \(n\) divisions of the vernier scale coincide with \((n-1)\) divisions of the main scale. The least count of the vernier calliper is:

1. \(\dfrac{1}{(n+1)(n-1)}\) cm 2. \(\dfrac{1}{n}\) cm
3. \(\dfrac{1}{n^{2}}\) cm 4. \(\dfrac{1}{(n)(n+1)}\) cm

In an experiment, the height of an object measured by a vernier callipers having least count of \(0.01~\text{cm}\) is found to be \(5.72~\text{cm}\). When no object is there between jaws of this vernier callipers, the reading of the main scale is \(0.1\) cm and the reading of the vernier scale is \(0.3~\text{mm}\). The correct height of the object is:
1. \( 5.72 ~\text{cm} \)
2. \( 5.59~\text{cm} \)
3. \( 5.85~\text{cm} \)
4. \( 5.69~\text{cm} \)
