Question

How will you measure the length of a pencil using a scale whose 0 end
is broken ?​

Answer 1

Measure the pencil from the other end of the scale for example if its a 15 cm scale you can measure if from that point and then simply subtract the number you get on scale by 15.

15- length measured = Length of pencil

Answer 2

${\huge{\bold{\underline{Answer:-}}}}$

If one end of the scale is broken at zero (0) mark then keep the pencil parallel to the scale touching it such that one of it ends coincides with the marking (1) on the scale. Note the number of the scale which coincides with the other end of the pencil. Now, subtract 1 from this number to get the length of the object.
