A vernier calliper whose 10 vernier scale divisions coincide with 9 main scale divisions is used to take a reading. Each main scale division is 1 mm. Before taking the reading it is observed that the 4th division of the vernier scale coincides with the main scale and zero of main scale is behind zero of vernier scale. When the reading is taken using this vernier calliper, the main scale reads 2.5 cm and the 7th division of the vernier scale coincides with the main scale. Find the final value of the measurement.

Zero error = 0.0 + 4 * 0.01 = 0.04 cm
Reading = 2.5a + 7 * 0.01 = 2.57 cm
Correct reading = 2.57 cm - 0.04 cm = 2.53 cm
