The diagram above represents a portion of a micrometer screw gauge in which the horizontal scale is in millimetres. What is the reading on the instrument?

3.72mm
3.50mm
3.30mm
3.28mm
3.22mm

Explanation

Micrometer screw gauge reading = Main scale reading + vernier scale reading 

  = 3  + 0.22 = 3.22mm
