What is the importance of a vernier scale?

We can find the diameter of a wire by wrapping it around a pencil and measuring the length of turns with the help of a meter scale. Is this approach more accurate than determining the diameter of the wire with the help of a screw gauge?

State whether true or false. If false, correct the statement.

With the help of vernier caliper we can have an accuracy of 0.1 mm and with screw gauge we can have an accuracy of 0.01 mm.
