Answer:

0.06 cm

Explanation:

least count(LC) = [1 main scale division(MSD) - 1 vernier scale division(VSD) ]

it is said that 10cm on the main scale is divided into 10 parts.

therefore 1MSD = 1 / 10 CM

ALSO , 20 VSD = 8 MSD

1 VSD = 8 / 20 MSD

LC = 1 MSD - 8/ 20 MSD

= MSD ( 1 - 4/10 ) (MSD = 1/10)

=3/50

=0.06.
