उत्तर
Diagram of vernier callipers:

Main parts and their functions:
Main scale: It is used to measure length correct up to 1 mm.
Vernier scale: It helps to measure length correct up to 0.1 mm.
Outside jaws: It helps to measure length of a rod, diameter of a sphere, external diameter of a hollow cylinder.
Inside jaws: It helps to measure the internal diameter of a hollow cylinder or pipe.
Strip: It helps to measure the depth of a beaker or a bottle.
