\begin{aligned} & \, 1 M \cdot S \cdot D =\frac{1}{20} \mathrm{~cm} \text {. } \\ & 1\, V \cdot S \cdot D=\frac{25}{35} \, \mathrm{MSD} \\ & =\frac{25}{35} \times \frac{1}{20} \mathrm{~cm} \\ & \text { Least count }=1 \mathrm{~M} \cdot \mathrm{S} \cdot \mathrm{D}-1 \text { V.S.D } \\ & =\left(\frac{1}{20}-\frac{25}{35} \times \frac{1}{20}\right){c m} \\ & =\frac{2}{20} \cdot\left[\frac{35-25}{35}\right] \\ & =0.014 \mathrm{~cm} \\ & \end{aligned}
