In a vernier calliper, \(N\) divisions of vernier scale coincide with (\(N\text-1\)) divisions of the main scale (in which the length of one division is \(1\) mm). The least count of the instrument should be:
1. \(N~\text{mm}\)
2. \((N-1)~\text{mm}\)
3. \(\frac{1}{10N}~\text{cm}\)
4. \(\frac{1}{(N-1)}~\text{mm}\)
