A screw gauge gives the following readings when used to measure the diameter of a wire
Main scale reading : $0 \mathrm{mm}$
Circular scale reading : $52 \mathrm{divisions}$
Given that $1 \mathrm{mm}$ on main scale corresponds to $100 \mathrm{divisions}$ on the circular scale. The diameter of the wire from the above data is:

• A

  $0.52 \mathrm{cm}$
• B

  $0.026 \mathrm{cm}$
• C

  $0.26 \mathrm{cm}$
• Correct answer
  D

  $0.052 \mathrm{cm}$

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
