Answer:

In a screw gauge , the screw fitted in the end loosens up as a result of which the space increases. The loosening up is also caused due to the rough use which causes wear and tear of the screw gauge.

So due to the loosening up of screw, when it is rotated very fast to tighten up some gear, it slips into the nut causing measurement error.

This phenomenon is called backlash error.

To reduce the backlash error, the distance between the centre of a pair of gear has to be minimised to push the gear into a mesh more tighter. This eliminates the backlash error.
