A vernier calipers has its main scale graduated in mm and 10 divisions on its vernier scale are equal in length to 9mm. When the two jaws are in contact, the zero of vernier scale is ahead of zero of main scale and 3rd division of vernier scale coincides with a main scale division. Find: (i) the least count and (ii) the zero error of the vernier calipers.
