While calulating the least count of main scale which was in CM you said it is 1mm i.e. 1/10. Now, in other part you said that if main scale is in mm then the least count of main scale is 10/10 i.e. 1mm.
Will you please clarify this? Why you did 10/10 in mm scale and 1/10 in cm scale?
Least count is basically the minimum measurement we can calculate using a scale. Now here to find LC of main scale it is length of 1 division on the main scale.
in first case length of 10 division in cm =1cm so LC= (1/ 10 )cm=1mm
in second case length of 10 division is 10 mm ,so LC = (10/10)mm=1mm
everything is same, the only differnence the units of measurement of length
