If the Vernier zero lies to the right of the main-scale zero when the jaws are closed, the zero correction is made by:

  • A Adding the zero error
  • B Subtracting the zero error
  • C Multiplying the reading by the zero error
  • D Ignoring the zero error
Correct Answer: Option B — Subtracting the zero error
Explanation:
A Vernier zero on the right gives a reading greater than the actual value, so the error is subtracted.
