Answer : The correct option is, (A) 50.1 ml

Explanation :

As we know that for the measurement of the volume of liquid in graduated cylinder are shown by placing the graduated cylinder on the flat surface and then view the height of the liquid in the graduated cylinder with the naked eyes directly level with the liquid.

The liquid will tend to curve downward that means this curve is known as the meniscus.

In the case of colored liquid, we are always read the upper meniscus of the liquid for the measurement.

In the case of colorless liquid, we are always read the lower meniscus of the liquid for the measurement.

In the given image, there are 10 division between the 50 and 60 and the smallest division is, 0.1. So, the volume of liquid will be, 50 ml + 0.1 ml = 50.1 ml.

Hence, the correct option is, (A) 50.1 ml
