A steel scale is graduated in increments of 1/32 in. What is the readability and least count of such a scale?

Solution :

The reability of the scale would be very low since the divisions are very small.

The least count is nothing but the smallest measurement that can be taken from that scale. Hence the least count is nothing but 1/32 in.
