    When both jaws of Vernier calipers touch each other, zero mark of the vernier scale is right to zero mark of main scale, 4th 4^{\text{th~}} mark on Vernier scale coincides with certain mark on the main scale. While measuring the length of a cylinder, observer observes 15 divisions on main scale and 5th5^{\text{th}} division of Vernier scale coincides with a main scale division. Measured length of cylinder is ____\_\_\_\_ mm. (Least count of Vernier caliper =0.1 mm= 0.1\text{ }mm )
